3Whenever you handle any firearm, or hand it to someone, always open the action immediately and visually check the firearms chambers to Make certain that the firearm is completely unloaded. Make certain the firearm does not inadvertently contain any ammunition. Always keep the chambers empty and the safety in the on safe position unless shooting is imminent. 4Always WEAR Ear AND Eye PROTECTION WHEN SHOOTING. Unprotected, repeated exposure to gunfire can cause hearing damage. Wear hearing protection (shooting ear plugs or muffs) to guard against such damage.
Wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes from flying particles. Allow proper distance (eye relief) between a scope and your eye when firing a scoped pistol, rifle or shotgun. Do not use unorthodox shooting methods that could cause the rearward travel of the slide or bolt of a firearm to contact your eyes, face or hands. Always keep a safe distance between the muzzle of your firearm and any persons nearby, as muzzle blast, debris and ejecting shells could inflict serious injury. Always wear eye protection when disassembling and cleaning any firearm to prevent the possibility of springs, spring-tensioned parts, solvents or other agents from contacting your eyes.

5Keep all firearms unloaded during transport, even when stored in a holster, gun case, scabbard or other container. 6DROPPING or jarring A LOADED FIREARM CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE. This can occur even with the safety in the on safe position. Be extremely careful while hunting or during any shooting activity to avoid dropping any firearm. 7 hunting from elevated surfaces such as treestands is dangerous. Doing so may increase the risk of mishandling a firearm. The following rules should always be observed by you and those you hunt with. Always make certain that the stand being used is safe and stable. Always make certain that your firearm is unloaded when it is being taken up and down from the stand. Always make certain that your firearm is not dropped from the stand, or dropped while it is being taken up or down from the stand. Remember, a loaded firearm may discharge when dropped, even with the safety in the on safe position. 8Store your firearm and ammunition separately, well beyond the reach of children. Take prudent safeguards to ensure your firearm does not become available to untrained, inexperienced or unwelcome hands. Store all firearms in secure, locked cases or a gun safe. Keep your firearm unloaded when not in use. 9BEWARE OF BARREL OBSTRUCTIONS. Mud, snow and an infinite variety of other objects may inadvertently lodge in a barrel bore. It only takes a small obstruction to cause dangerously increased pressures that can damage your firearm and cause serious injury to yourself and others.

BEFORE CHECKING FOR A BARREL OBSTRUCTION, BE CERTAIN YOUR FIREARM IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED, THERE are No LIVE shells IN THE Chambers AND THE SAFETY IS IN THE ON SAFE POSITION. After assuring yourself that the firearm is completely unloaded, open the breech or action and look through the barrel to be sure it is clear of obstructions. If an obstruction is seen, no matter how small it may be, clean the bore with a cleaning rod and patch as described on page 23 of this owners manual.
10Be alert to the signs of ammunition malfunction. if you detect an off sound or light recoil when a shell is fired, do not load another shell into the chamber. If your firearm fails to fire, keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction for a minimum of 30 seconds. Carefully open the action and remove the shell from the chamber. If the primer is indented, the defective shell should be disposed of in a way that cannot cause harm. If the primer is not indented, your firearm should be examined by a qualified gunsmith and the cause of the malfunction corrected before further use. Glance down the barrel to make sure that no obstructions remain in the barrel. Completely clear the barrel before loading and firing again. Failure to follow these instructions can cause extensive damage to your firearm and possible serious injury to yourself and others. 11 never insert a shell of the incorrect caliber into any firearm. The caliber of your firearm is marked on the barrel. Store all shells of different calibers in completely separate and well-marked containers. Never store shells of mixed calibers in a common container or in your pockets. See page 16 for more information on the correct ammunition for your firearm.
08-406-BFA_Citori OM.indd 4-5
12 examine every shell you put in your firearm. We assume no responsibility for the use of unsafe or improper firearm and ammunition combinations or damage or injury caused by damaged ammunition. It is your responsibility to read and heed all warnings in this owners manual and on ammunition boxes. See page 16 for more information on the correct ammunition for your firearm. 13USE ONLY SAAMI APPROVED AMMUNITION. The barrel and action of this firearm have been made with substantial safety margins beyond the pressures developed by established American commercial loads. Nevertheless, we can assume no liability for incidents which occur through the use of shells of nonstandard dimensions or which develop pressures in excess of commercially available ammunition which has been loaded in accordance with standards established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI). 14Make sure of adequate ventilation in the area that you discharge a firearm. Lead exposure can occur from discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms or handling ammunition. Lead is a substance that has been known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm and other serious injury. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure to ammunition or after cleaning a firearm. 15 do not snap the firing pin on an empty chamber; the chamber may not be empty! Treat every firearm with the respect due a loaded firearm, even though you are certain the firearm is unloaded. 16KEEP YOUR Fingers AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER WHILE LOADING and unloading UNTIL shooting is imminent.

Barrel Selector
The thumb-operated safety also allows you to choose the firing order of the barrels. Barrel selection can be made only when the safety is in the on safe position. Sliding the barrel selector to the left reveals an O that indicates the top barrel (over) will fire first. Sliding the barrel selector to the right reveals a U that indicates the bottom barrel (under) will fire first.

TO P LEVER

The top lever operates the locking bolt, which is hand fitted to the barrel lugs. Moving the top lever to the right unlocks the action and allows the shotgun to be loaded and unloaded. It is not necessary that the top lever return to a completely centered position, nor should it be hanging over the right side or edge of the receiver tang as you look down on it. Upon closing your gun, let the top lever snap into position to allow the top lever spring to return the top lever mechanism to the locked position. Do not retard its action with your thumb. Many shooters lightly push the top lever to the left after the closing the breech. This operation is a quick method of assuring yourself that foreign matter has not interfered with the complete closure of the breech. Always keep the polished breech surfaces clean and lightly oiled. The breech is so carefully hand fitted that accumulated debris, sand, etc. may prohibit complete closing. If this should occur the action will not close. Open the gun and unload it. Carefully examine the action surfaces and remove any foreign matter.

3 Attach the barrels to the action by grasping the buttstocks grip with your right hand and anchoring the buttstock between your right forearm and right side. With the thumb of your right hand, move and hold the top lever sideways to the extreme right. Grasp the barrels in the left hand and engage the barrel lugs circular hinge pin recess (A) with the actions (B) hinge pin (Figure 7). 4 While keeping pressure on the barrels to keep the hinge pin aligned in the barrel lugs circular recess, rotate the barrels upward, fully closing the action (Figure 8). Release the top lever. It should snap back into place. 5 Place the rear of the guns buttstock against your upper leg and slide the projecting steel tab on the rear of the forearm bracket into the opposing recess in the receiver bottom (Figure 9). Pivot the forearm up to the barrel tightly. This will cause the forearm to engage onto the barrel. You should hear an audible click which signifies that the forearm is properly attached (Figure 10).
NOTICE! When assembling your shotgun, do not use undue force when closing the action. If the top lever is not to the right or the action and barrels are not properly aligned undue force will only cause them to grind together and score or mar the finely fitted surfaces.
Slide the projecting steel tab on the rear of the forearm bracket into the opposing recess on the receiver bottom. The forearm engages on the barrel. You should hear an audible click.

ALWAYS KEEP the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. BEFORE STARTING DISASSEMBLY PROCEDURES, open the action and VISUALLY INSPECT THE CHAMBERs TO BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THE FIREARM IS COMPLETELY UNLOADED. place the safety in the on safe position. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
1 Close the action, anchor the buttstock against your upper leg and lift outward on the forearm takedown latch. At the same time, grasp the forearm and with the help of the left hand pivot the forearm away from the barrels, removing the forearm. 2 Open the action.

We can assume no responsibility for incidents which occur through the use of shells of nonstandard dimension or those developing pressures in excess of SAAMI (Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute) established standards.

Ammunition

Citori shotguns are available in a variety of gauges and chamber lengths. use only shells of the correct gauge and length. The gauge and length of the chamber is inscribed on the side of the barrel. Do not use ammunition other than what is inscribed on the side of the barrel. Examine every shell you put in your shotgun. failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death and cause damage to your shotgun. Use shells of the correct length. Do not use 3 or 3 shells in a barrel with a 2 or 2 chamber, or 3 shells in a barrel with a 3 chamber. Doing so can result in a buildup of dangerously high pressures. failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death and cause damage to your shotgun. do not put a 16 or 20 gauge shell in a 12 gauge shotgun. do not put a 28 gauge shell in a 20 gauge shotgun. do not put a.410 bore shell in a 28 gauge shotgun. never put metallic cartridges of any kind in a shotgun. specifically, never put centerfire rifle or pistol cartridges in a shotgun chambered for.410 bore. failure to follow this warning could result in serious injury or death and cause damage to your shotgun.

Loading

When loading your shotgun Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, Always place the sAFETY IN THE ON SAFE position and keep your fingers away from the trigger. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious injury or death.
1 Move the top lever to the right and open the breech. 2 Check the chambers and bores to be certain they are clear of obstructions. 3 Insert a shell in each chamber, or in the chamber you intend to fire, and close the breech.

Unloading

while unloading your shotgun Always place the sAFETY in the on safe position. keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, and your fingers away from the trigger. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious injury or death.
1 Using your thumb, move the top lever fully to the right to open the action. The action must be opened completely to reset the firing mechanism. Due to tight manufacturing tolerances, it may be necessary to pull downward slightly on the forearm to completely open the breech. For proper ejection, keep the receiver level and allow the barrels to completely drop. This keeps empty hulls in full contact with the ejectors. 2 It is important to point the breech, by canting the shotgun to the right (left for left-handed shooters), so empty hulls eject clear of

All current production 12 and 20 gauge Citori shotgun barrels have been threaded to accept the Invector-Plus choke system. 16, 28 gauge and.410 bore Citori shotgun barrels have been threaded to accept the Standard Invector choke system. Standard Invector and Invector-Plus tubes are not interchangeable. You may confirm the choke system of your shotgun by looking on the right side of the barrel where the specifications are inscribed, where the choke markings are normally located. The constriction of each choke tube is indicated twice on the choke tube: on the side of the tube, and indicated with a notch code on the top rim of the tube. The included universal choke tube wrench is used to remove and install choke tubes. Invector choke tubes are compatible with factory ammunition that has been loaded in compliance with SAAMI specifications, including magnum lead and steel shot loads, sabots and shotgun slug loads. Replacement and additional tubes and wrenches are available from your Browning dealer, or by contacting our Consumer Department. See Service or Repair on page 33 for contact information.

To help you choose the correct choke tube for each hunting and shooting situation, all Browning Invector choke tubes are inscribed on the side with the patterns they produce with both lead and steel shot. Each Invector tube also has notches in the top rim of the tube (Figure 11). These notches are a code to allow you to determine the choke designation while the tube is installed. Rim notches refer specifically to lead shot. You will need to use the charts on the next page to cross-reference from lead to steel, and determine the appropriate tubes for your ammunition and hunting/shooting situation.
Not for use with steel shot. Using an over-tight choke constriction with steel shot will result in an ineffective blown pattern. Extra Full Special, extended with ports. Do not use with steel shot. When more than one choke designation is listed for a given steel shot pattern, use the more open choke listed for high velocity, larger shot size steel loads.

1 Place the safety in the rearward, on safe position. Always make sure the shotgun is completely unloaded. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. 2 Use the choke tube wrench to loosen the tube, turning it counterclockwise. Finger-twist the tube the rest of the way out of the barrel.
C h o k e TU B E INSTALLATION

1 Place the safety in the rearward, on safe position. Always make sure the shotgun is completely unloaded. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. 2 Before installing a tube, check the internal choke tube threads in the muzzle, as well as the threads on the choke tube to be sure they are clean. Lightly oil the threads with a high-quality, lightweight gun oil. 3 Using your fingers, screw the appropriate tube into the muzzle end of the barrel, tapered end first and notched end outward. When it becomes finger-tight, use the choke tube wrench to firmly seat the tube.
NOTICE! The choke tube should be periodically checked to assure that it is tight and firmly seated. Before checking, follow all the choke tube removal and installation safety guidelines previously outlined.
Be especially careful when cleaning guns with camouflage, Dura-Touch Armor Coating and other special finishes. Always prevent these surfaces from coming in contact with cleaning solvents, barrel scrubbers and other strong chemicals. It is preferable to clean these surfaces with a light gun oil containing no solvents or with a damp cloth and mild dish soap (be sure to keep water out of the action). When cleaning your firearms bore and action, protect the external finishes from any contact with chemicals used. Also avoid any contact between external finishes and other strong chemicals like those found in DEET-containing insect repellents, sunscreens, etc. Damage to camouflage, Dura-Touch and other finishes caused by chemicals is irreversible and not repairable.
BEFORE PERFORMING CLEANING PROCEDURES, place the SAFETY in the on safe position. open the action and make certain YOUR shotgun IS completely UNLOADED. Keep the muzzles pointed in a safe direction. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious injury or death. WEAR EYE PROTECTION WHEN DISASSEMBLING AND CLEANING YOUR shotgun TO PREVENT SOLVENTS OR OTHER AGENTS FROM CONTACTING YOUR EYES, resulting in injury. Keep all ammunition away from the cleaning area. Never test the mechanical function of your rifle with live ammunition. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious injury or death.

C LEANING P RO C EDURES

Your Citori shotgun will function better and more reliably over a longer period of time if it is properly maintained and kept clean. You should clean your Citori after every day of shooting, and more often if it becomes excessively dirty. A minimum cleaning includes wiping down the action and oiling key parts and can be accomplished with the barrels still attached. A full cleaning requires that you remove the barrels and forearm. Most regular maintenance will also include cleaning the barrels. If you encounter a function problem (tight action when closing, etc.) be sure to give your gun a thorough cleaning to see if it solves the problem, before seeking the services of a Browning Recommended Service Center or the Browning Service Facility in Arnold, Missouri, or a qualified gunsmith. 1 Place the safety in the rearward, on safe position. Open the action and inspect the chambers to make certain they do not contain any shells. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. 2 Remove the barrels and forearm from the receiver as explained under Disassembly on page 15. 3 Using a shotgun cleaning rod with tip and patch large enough for a snug fit in the bores, insert the rod and a lightly oiled patch in the breech end of the barrels and run back and forth several times in each barrel. Alternately, the Browning Barrel Weasel makes cleaning the bores of your firearm fast and easy. Be sure to follow all instructions when using any product to clean your firearm.

bore with a powder solvent first. Scrub until clean. To prevent bristles from breaking off, push the brush fully through each time before pulling it back through.
MOST SOLVENTS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. WEAR EYE PROTECTION and practice APPROPRIATE SAFETY MEASURES WHEN WORKING WITH SOLVENTS to avoid serious injury.
6 After all leading and plastic residues have been removed run a clean, dry patch through the bores. Follow this with a final lightly oiled patch. 7 Wipe all metal surfaces of the receiver, forearm and barrels with a clean rag. Then lightly oil your gun at the points described under Assembly on page 13. Regular, light oiling is extremely important to the durability and reliable operation of your shotgun.
Notice! Remember, the broad, polished finely fitted surfaces of the receiver and forearm mechanisms (the barrel lugs, the hinge pin and forearm bracket) must always be coated with a thin film of quality lightweight gun oil.
NOTICE! Do not place large quantities of oil into the action. excess oil will run back into the wood of the stock and soften the wood, with consequential loosening of the stock.
8 Inspect the barrels and chambers to be certain no patches have inadvertently been left in them. Remove any that remain. 9 The wood surfaces can also be wiped with a quality, lightweight gun oil or they can be polished with any quality furniture wax (but not both).
NOTICE! It is very important that the chambers of your shotgun be cleaned thoroughly and promptly after shooting plastic shotshells. Do not leave discharged (empty) shells in the chambers for any length of time. The chemical composition of many plastic shells contains moisture which can sweat out
4 Inspect the bores from both ends for leading and plastic residue that often remains in the bores from the shot cups in modern shotshells. Leading and plastic residue will appear as longitudinal streaks and are usually more predominant near the muzzles and just forward of the chambers. A normal amount of either is common and is not serious. 5 If leading or plastic residue seems excessive you can remove it by brushing the bores with a brass brush. Soak the brush or spray the
08-406-BFA_Citori OM.indd 24-25
of the shell and onto the chambers surfaces, and possibly cause corrosion and rust. NOTICE! Do not TAKE YOUR GUNS ACTION APART beyond what is explained in this owners manual. This is a specialized, finely fitted mechanism; any attempt to disassemble the inner mechanism may mar it for life. It is unnecessary, and may do damage to the inner mechanism, to disassemble it for routine cleaning and oiling. Of course, misfortunes (such as dropping your gun in water) require appropriate attention, and in such circumstances we recommend you immediately take your gun to a qualified gunsmith.
Models with special finisheS
As with any gun, the only way to preserve its pristine condition and collector appeal is to never handle or fire it, which in turn would deprive you of much of the enjoyment that comes with owning a fine Browning firearm. While special finishes such as engraving and gold plating greatly enhance the aesthetic appeal of your shotgun, please be aware that they are no more durable, and in some cases may even be slightly less durable than more common gun finishes. As you use your Browning shotgun, you can expect special finishes to wear in much the same manner as any other firearm finish. These marks are the honest product of the hours spent enjoying your firearm and each scuff and scratch will probably have a good story to go along with it.

barrel porting

Some Citori target models feature ported barrels that reduce recoil and muzzle jump. Reducing recoil not only increases comfort when shooting, but increases accuracy because it is easier to pick-up the second clay target faster due to decreased recovery time following the first shot. Carbon can build up in the ports after shooting. To clean them use a good quality powder solvent and pipe cleaners to scrub away debris.

Keeping the oil-finished wood surfaces on your firearm looking their best requires only a small amount of maintenance. When the surfaces become spotted or dull, the affected area(s) can be treated using rubbing alcohol on a soft, lint free cloth and allowed to dry. A small amount of a linseed oil-based finish, such as Watco Danish Oil Finish, Deft Danish Oil Finish, or Formbys Tung Oil Finish should then be applied to the surface of the wood with a soft, lint free cloth according to the manufacturers instructions. To treat the checkering, a small amount of oil-based finish can be applied and then distributed evenly using a toothbrush or other soft bristled brush.
This adjustment allows you to achieve a perfect fit of the stock against your face. This adjustment determines how correctly and consistently your dominant eye aligns with the sight plane along the barrel rib. With the gun shouldered, cast off means moving the comb to the right of the centerline of the gun to give a fit advantage for a right-handed shooter. Cast on refers to moving the comb to the left of the centerline, giving a fit advantage for a left-handed shooter. A shotgun that is correctly adjusted for cast will have you looking directly down the center of the rib with both the front and middle beads in exact alignment.The
08-406-BFA_Citori OM.indd 26-27
comb features a total adjustment range of " for cast on and cast off Figure 12 adjustment. Adjustment increments are approximately 1/16". Cast on and cast off angle adjustments of a maximum of 1/8" are also possible. To adjust cast on and cast off perform the following procedure: 1 Insert the provided 7/64" Allen wrench through the hole found Insert a 7/64" Allen wrench through the hole in on the upper left of the recoil the recoil pad. pad and into the Allen screw located within the recoil pad (Figure 12). Once the Allen wrench is engaged with the Allen screw, turn the wrench counter-clockwise three full turns to loosen Allen screw. This will sufficiently loosen the comb, allowing adjustments to be easily made. The comb comes from the factory with cast set in the center position. 2 With the Allen screw loose, carefully adjust comb to desired position (Figure 13) by sliding each post equally in the desired direction. Each adjustment increment represents approximately 1/16". 3 Move the posts to the right for more cast off. Move the posts to the left for more cast on. 4 Right-handed shooters may desire some cast off, with left-handed shooters preferring some cast on. The terminology is the same for right- or left-handed shooters. The net effect is to move the comb to allow the face to move farther over the stock for better eye-to-rib alignment.

Figure 13

5 When properly set, the front and rear sight beads should line up perfectly each time you shoulder your shotgun. 6 If drop at comb has already been set to your desired height, tighten the Allen screw in the recoil pad. The screw needs to be firmly tightened, but be careful not to over-tighten. If drop has not been set, leave the Allen screw loose and proceed to Adjusting Drop at Comb.
A d j u s t i n g D r o p at C o m b
Adjusting the drop at the comb allows you to align your eye perfectly with the plane of the rib. A correct sight picture for trap shooters should have you looking down the rib with the bottom of the front bead resting on the top of the middle bead. This forms a figure eight or stacked configuration. Some of the rib will be showing as you sight down, but no rib will show between the beads. Lining up the beads correctly each time you shoot is whats important. The correct sight picture for skeet and sporting clays shooters should have the two sight beads in perfect alignment. The comb has an height adjustment range of 11 increments, at 1/16" per increment, resulting in approximately 5/8" of total height adjustment.
NOTICE! DO NOT GO BEYOND THE RANGE OF ADJUSTMENT increments. SHOULD THIS OCCUR, THE COMB WILL NOT BE PROPERLY SECURED to the shotgun AND COULD RESULT IN injury or DAMAGE TO THE FIREARM.
The drop measurement is determined by measuring the distance between the plane formed by the top of the rib and the top of the comb itself. The higher the comb, the less drop there will be. To set drop perform the following:
With the Allen screw loose, adjust comb to the desired position by sliding each post in the desired direction.
1 Insert the provided 7/64" Allen wrench through the hole found on the upper left of the recoil pad and into the Allen screw located within the recoil pad (if they were not left loose after setting the cast.) Once the Allen wrench is engaged with the Allen screw, turn
08-406-BFA_Citori OM.indd 28-29
the wrench counter-clockwise three full turns to loosen the Allen screw. The comb will move freely, up and down, on the stock adjustment posts. 2 With the Allen screw loose, carefully adjust the comb to desired position (Figure 14) by raising or lowering each post equally in the desired direction. Each increment represents 1/16" of movement.

The Triple Trigger System has three interchangeable trigger shoes with different surfaces: wide with checkered surface, wide with canted smooth surface and narrow with smooth surface. Each trigger shoe is adjustable to three positions for length of pull. Please heed all safety warnings, cautions and procedures found in this owners manual when adjusting or installing trigger shoes.

Removing the Trigger

With the Allen screw loose, adjust comb to desired position by sliding each post up or down in the desired direction.
Before you begin to remove the trigger, place the safety in the rearward, on safe position to prevent dry firing your shotgun as you are changing/adjusting trigger shoes. All Citori target models are supplied with three different styles of trigger shoes. To remove the trigger shoe, loosen the center screw with the provided 2mm (5/64") Allen wrench (Figure 15). Loosen the screw so the trigger shoe slides easily on the trigger plate. Keep the screw threaded at least one thread into the trigger shoe so the screw is not lost. Slide the trigger shoe forward to the end of the trigger plate. Press the rearward end of the trigger plate down with your finger and gently slide the trigger shoe off the trigger plate. To replace the trigger shoe, press the rearward end of the trigger plate and slide the trigger shoe down the side grooves of the plate.
Changing the Length of Pull
3 To decrease drop at comb, carefully slide each post up equally. Sliding the posts equally will reduce the chance of the posts binding. 4 To increase drop at comb, carefully slide each post down equally. Sliding the posts equally will reduce the chance of the posts binding. Drop adjustments are a matter of trial and error. Adjust a little at a time until you obtain the desired sight picture on the rib.
5 Once your desired drop at comb is obtained, tighten the Allen screw in the recoil pad. The screw needs to be firmly tightened, but be careful not to over-tighten. Drop is now set on your shotgun.
