Our Assessment: This 1992 Browning Citori Standard Field in .410 bore is a finely crafted over-under shotgun that reflects the enduring quality of Browning’s Japanese-made Citori line. This particular model is built with 26″ barrels and fixed Modified over Improved Cylinder chokes, providing a versatile setup well-suited for upland game, Sporting clays, or casual clay shooting. The .410 bore with 3″ chamber gives shooters the option of using heavier loads for hunting while retaining the light recoil and nimble handling the gauge is known for. The blued finish on the receiver and barrels contrasts elegantly with the checkered walnut furniture, which includes a semi-pistol grip and a full finger shelf forend.
This model maintains Browning’s reputation for reliability and smooth operation, with a solid boxlock action, gold-toned trigger, and automatic ejectors. The compact size and balance of this Citori make it quick to mount and naturally pointable, ideal qualities for the small-bore enthusiast. The craftsmanship and fit-and-finish of these early 1990s Citoris are often praised for being particularly high. It’s a timeless, classy .410 built for performance and built to last.
