Question Browning Citori Lightning

Blast n Cast · 10-26-2009, 10:28 AM

Any one have one? What do you think? I have a chance at a very lightly used, excellent condition Citori Lightning from a friend of a friend for a fair amount less than new... I did see new ones were around $1200-1300 at Scheels yesterday...

I have owned a citori for years and would no trade for anything, you can never go wrong with a quality over and under.

I have had one for two years and love it. Very nice gun

I have had a citori upland special since the mid eighties. It is still my favorite shotgun.

I have owned a Citori since 92 and it is the only gun I carry. It has seen alot of use but things still fall down when I point it.

Just purchased a citori lighning 4 months ago. Great weight distribution and looks great. Now if only I could hit something....

Newbie question, how does shooting an O/U compare to a single barrel? I am a decent shot with the single barrels I have now, and don't want shooting a double to screw me up... Any major differences (besides 2 shots vs 3)?

I would say balance, I am now shooting an auto, but have never felt an auto that balanced quite like a well balanced O/U.

I've hunted with a O/U once and it kicked pretty bad. Unsure if the citori would be the same way but our old neighbor loved his for pheasant hunting.
