BROWNING CITORI GRADE 6 12GA

Description:

A Browning B425 EUROPEEN Grade 6 in 12 gauge with a 30-inch barrel is a highly desirable, highly specialized configuration. Most often found as a Trap, Skeet, or Sporting Clays model rather than a field gun, the 30-inch barrel variant is optimized for a smoother swing and superior sight plane target acquisition.

• The Model: It is a Browning B425 Grade VI Sporting / Elegant (or a very early, transitional European B525 Grade VI). In Browning's premium hierarchy, Grade 6 represents the top tier of factory-embellished firearms. [1]
• The Artwork: The Grade 6 engraving style features a distinctive greyed/coin-finished receiver covered in deep relief scrollwork. It specifically uses the three-duck / three-pheasant / bottom-dog layout crafted in 24k gold semi-relief inlay. [1, 2, 3]
• The Missing Serial Numbers: For a high-grade, specialized European market Miroku/Browning built in 2003 with this configuration, the exact model ending digits are 131 or 13I. Your complete factory tracking serial number sequence is 35270MX131. [1, 2]

Value and Desirability
Because it has a clean European look without large blocky model stamps, the beauty of the engraving takes center stage. A Grade VI over-under with 30-inch barrels and 2 ¾" chambers is highly sought after because it combines the mechanical reliability of a Miroku-built target gun with the investment-grade aesthetics of a custom presentation piece.


The rich, highly figured walnut wood completes the picture. You have a magnificent, investment-grade firearm.
Your gun is an authentic 2003 European-market Browning B425 Grade VI (Grade 6) Sporting, completely manufactured by the master gunsmiths at Miroku in Japan. Because it was configured for the elegant European market, it forewent the heavy commercial stamped labels found on American models, letting the deep relief engraving, 24k gold game-scene inlays, and premium wood speak for themselves.



Specifications for This Configuration

• Chamber: Typically 2 ¾-inch for dedicated Trap/Skeet target models, though some sporting and field variants feature a 3-inch chamber.
• Choke System: Older production models feature the standard Invector system, while later iterations upgraded to Invector-Plus.
• Weight: Typically ranges between 8 lbs. 3 oz. and 8 lbs. 14 oz.. Target models often lean heavier due to denser, high-grade walnut and thicker barrel profiles to mitigate recoil.
• Rib Options: Usually equipped with a wide, ventilated target rib (frequently a high-post or stepped rib on Trap-specific models).
