new citori
what a maroon. should have purchased one years ago. it shoots where it points. handles like a dream. it is so good I gathered up all the remingtons and ithicas and took them to the pawn shop. good bye, like a bad girlfriend.
...I bet I spent over 3 grand on mediocre guns chasing clays (both 5 stand and sporting). the instant choke choice is wonderful too. recoil is a lighter than some of the semis I shot. must be stock design and weight balance. oh well. bob Last edited by bobn; January 18, 2018 at 06:59 AM. |

I wish more people here would read your comment. 99% of the posts here are queries for info on the cheapest of cheap guns made.

I'm glad to see this post. I have been slowly whittling my collection down as far as quantity and going more for quality. I really only can justify one shotgun and have been waivering on what to do. This puts things a bit more back into perspective

I've looked at the Citori but ended up with a nice Superposed. I'm totally sold on the Brownings.
When I started shooting clays I was talked into a Red Label all weather. After 2 years I kept having problems with light strikes. After the second trip to a smith I parted ways with it. Now I fully agree about buying quality.

best browning ive seen out there for he money is the crossover. the features alone are what a good gun is worth alone.

And I also like third shot capability. This year: Citori ---22 pheasants, 1 mallard drake and a rabbit. Mossberg 500-- 2 pheasants, 9 coots, 1 bluebill, and 1 mallard.

I own-hunt-shoot four o/u,s, two double barrels, one semi-auto and one single shot, all brownings. and I have other shotguns too for special hunts. but the brownings get 90 percent of the action. i have not had any problems with any of the brownings thru tens of thousands of rounds, factory and reloads.
