Citori XS Skeet is an excellent all around shotgun ....especially if you buy it with the adjustable comb. Its a gun, I think, that will Fit 99.999% of the shooters out there ( with the adj comb).

I favor it in 30" barrels ...regardless of the gague ...( and I have them in all 4 gagues / although in Browning catalog its only available in 12ga or 20ga --- Browning made a lot of them on the 20ga receiver in 28ga and .410 ).

Its a well made, well balanced gun ....easily a 1 Million shell gun with no issues if you take care of it. I have well over 500,000 thru my 12ga and 20ga versions with not a single issue ( spring, firing pin...nothing )...

Its a great all around gun .....Skeet, Sporting clays, 5 Stand and live birds...it doesn't shoot high enough for me - to use it as a primary gun for Trap ( so I go to a Citori XT Trap in 32" barrels at about 10 lbs for Trap ) ....but its just fine for casual Trap shooting.

My XS Skeet models ( bought them new in about 2001 )

My XT's ...( both 32" barrels ...12ga ) one with a Gra Coil on it...

and if you don't like it for some reason ...down the road, they are incredibly easy to sell ...if you take care of it.

Citori XS Skeet model is not cheap ....but its also not a Perazzi, Blaser, Kolar or Krieghoff either......yet that model of the Citori specifically gives you an awful lot of gun for the money ....and its a gun that should easily last thru 3 or more generations if you take care of it.
