Our Assessment: The Browning Citori Upland Special in 16 gauge is a lightweight, fast-handling over-under shotgun designed with upland bird hunters in mind. This particular model features 24″ barrels, ideal for quick swings in dense cover or tight shooting lanes, making it especially effective for quail, grouse, or pheasant. The Invector choke system provides versatility in pattern control, allowing hunters to tailor the spread to different field conditions. At 6 pounds 8 ounces, it strikes a nice balance between being easy to carry all day and stable enough for controlled follow-up shots.
A key feature that sets this Upland Special apart is its straight English-style grip stock, which promotes a natural, instinctive point and fast target transitions, perfect for flushed birds at close to medium range. The classic walnut stock offers refined checkering and elegant lines, adding traditional appeal to its modern performance. Combined with the Citori’s legendary durability and mechanical precision, this 16-gauge upland gun delivers a satisfying blend of heritage, function, and field-ready balance for the serious bird hunter.
