The Browning Citori Hunter 28-gauge over-and-under shotgun is built for hunters who value tradition, balance, and the distinctive handling of a 28-gauge. This is a purpose-built upland and small-game gun that combines Browning's proven Citori platform with refinements designed to handle modern hunting demands. The 28-gauge delivers a lighter recoil profile and reduced shot payload compared to 12 or 20-gauge guns, making it an excellent choice for wingshooting where finesse matters as much as firepower.
The Hunter version keeps things practical: you get a satin-finished Grade II/III American walnut stock paired with a gloss-finished barrel, a silver-bead front sight for quick target acquisition, and three flush choke tubes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) to dial in your pattern for different distances and quarry. The receiver wears a silver-nitride finish with gold enhancement that looks clean without being fussy. An Inflex recoil pad helps absorb the gun's kick, making longer days in the field more comfortable.
Under the hood, the Citori Hunter relies on Browning's time-tested engineering: a transverse locking bolt, full-width hinge pin, and monoblock-recessed breech for strength and durability. The 3-inch chambers handle modern ammunition, while chrome-plated chambers resist corrosion and make cleanup easier. The barrels incorporate back-bored technology and Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones to reduce recoil and improve pattern consistency, especially with steel shot if you're hunting waterfowl-adjacent situations.
This is a gun that belongs in an upland vest, not on a safe queen shelf. It's refined enough for a gentleman's hunt but rugged enough for brush and briars. If you've been thinking about joining the 28-gauge crowd—or moving up from a .410—the Citori Hunter is where that decision usually ends.
| Gauge | 28 |
| Chamber | 3 inch |
| Action Type | Over-and-Under |
| Stock Material | Grade II/III American Walnut |
| Stock Finish | Satin |
| Receiver Finish | Silver Nitride with Gold Enhancement |
| Barrel Finish | Gloss |
| Recoil Pad | Inflex Recoil Pad II |

| Choke System | Invector-Plus |
| Trigger Type | Inertia |

| Barrel Technology | Back-Bored with Vector Pro Lengthened Forcing Cone |
The Hunter has 3-inch chambers, so it will handle standard 2¾-inch and 3-inch 28-gauge loads. Chrome-plated chambers help protect against corrosion and make cleaning simpler after use.
Three flush choke tubes are included: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. These fit the Invector-Plus system, so you can swap them to adjust your pattern for different hunting scenarios—tighter patterns for distant birds, more open patterns for close-flushing game.
Yes. The 28-gauge is a classic upland gauge, especially for hunters who value lighter recoil and faster gun handling. The reduced shot payload suits smaller game birds and longer shots where precision matters more than raw knockdown power. This Citori's back-bored barrels and lengthened forcing cones help it perform well with modern ammunition.
The Citori Hunter features a Grade II/III American walnut stock with a satin finish. American walnut is durable and resists dings better than fancier wood grades, making it a practical choice for field hunting. The Inflex Recoil Pad II helps protect both the gun and your shoulder over years of shooting.
