I think its fair to say ...they have mixed reviews.

An acquaintance of mine, about 20 yrs ago, bought a pair of them new from Big 5 Sporting goods ...or maybe it was Walmart....don't remember / but they had some issues ( and he bought one for him / one for his wife )...the barrel to receiver connection was not the best / he had some galling issues...and some trigger issues ..../ at the time I paid about $ 800 new in box for a Citori Lightning ( field grade ) model / and I want to say he paid about $200 each for his guns...

and about a yr later...he bought a Citori Lightning.../ ...he regretted the decision..and last I knew, he was still shooting the Citori Lightning he bought in the late 80's ...
