BigJim: Those sure look nice. I would like to try someone's out and will try to do that. The guy who gave my wife lessons has some nice guns but they are way beyond the Citori. Of course, he is seriously into the sport, is an instruction and sells firearms. Had some with weights on the barrel and the stock. Wow! I put duct tape on my old Stevens.
Olddrum: Probably so. When we bought my wife's Montefeltro ($1,100) she balked. But now she loves the gun and hasn't looked back. She has seen the versatility of the gun and that changed her mind. I bought some buckshot loads, slugs, 3" and others to show her what the gun could do. With the slugs she was hitting a 2'x2' square at 100 yds and was impressed.
Thanks agian for all of the input.
