Key Features
- Invector-Plus choke system – Why it matters: This system gives you three flush chokes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) so you can adjust pattern density for different game or clay targets without buying extra tubes.
- Gold-plated trigger – Why it matters: A crisp, corrosion-resistant trigger improves consistency for new shooters learning proper pull technique.
- Inflex recoil pad – Why it matters: Reduces felt recoil by up to 50% compared to standard pads, making the .410 even more comfortable for youth and smaller-framed shooters.
- Silver bead front sight – Why it matters: Provides a clear, low-glare aiming point that helps beginners acquire targets quickly in varying light conditions.
- Gloss blued finish with gold receiver accents – Why it matters: The durable finish protects against moisture and rust, while the subtle gold adds a touch of class without being flashy.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for families who want a lightweight, low-recoil option for introducing youth or new shooters to the field or range. The .410 bore is forgiving on the shoulder, and the 26-inch barrel balances well for smaller frames. It also works for experienced shooters who appreciate the Citori platform for upland birds or skeet.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Low recoil, excellent build quality, interchangeable chokes, light weight (under 7 pounds).
- Con: The .410 bore has limited shot payload compared to 20 or 12 gauge — it’s best for close-range targets and small game, not long-range waterfowl.

FAQ
What shells does this shotgun accept?
It accepts 2½-inch and 3-inch .410 bore shells. The 3-inch chamber gives you flexibility for heavier loads when needed.
Is this shotgun good for youth shooters?
Yes. The .410 bore produces very low recoil, and the 26-inch barrel keeps the weight manageable for younger or smaller shooters. The Inflex recoil pad further reduces felt recoil.
What chokes are included?
The shotgun ships with three Invector-Plus flush choke tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. These cover most field and clay applications.
Can I use this for skeet or trap?
Yes, especially for skeet where the .410 is a standard gauge. For trap, the Improved Cylinder or Modified choke works well for shorter-range targets.
Does it have a tang safety?
Yes, the Citori Hunter features a tang-mounted safety/selector, which is easy to reach and intuitive for beginners.
