still looking for a browning specific chart

The Hallowell chart, referenced by oneounceload, shows the same Browning star code choke markings as other references like Briley. The Citori in question doesn't have typical Browning markings.
A gun maker can chose to label his chokes in two ways: consider cylinder bore as his start (Perazzi marks cylinder bore with an O and full with a 9), or use your tightest choke as your start (Browning typical uses one star for full and three for cylinder, or, in the case of the early Citori, a number 1 instead of one star). Other makers stamp the actual diameter of the choke like 18.4 (in mm's). Traditional UK makers may mark chokes in quarters (0/4=cyl; 1/4=imp cyl; 2/4=mod; 3/4=imp mod and 4/4=full). USofA makers typically just spell out the choke markings. It you find an old Winchester with "FULL" marked on the barrel, there's no questions.
