Does a fish Swim?
Everyone has their favorite stuff and to me the Citori is a well balanced value. Comparativly more value than any O/U for the money in my opinion.

Yeah I think they are worth every red cent as well I just posted that as fast as humanly possible. I could never have afforded mine im glad I inherited it. new it was 3600$ as in ouch. I just have to watch when I open the barrels after shooting it mine really throws em out of there. (got hit right in the eye last time)
Mine was only 1600.00
You must have one of the fancy Citories.

Yeah its older too. engraving isnt that nice on it but its one of the extremely lightwieght versions (makes it kick like a mule)
My friend had a grade six and his wood is barely nicer.
Do you have a camera? Take a pic of the citori, I would like to see it.
I would if I could wait a minute I just might still have that email from Iconoclast or was it one of the other moderators He had an exact pick of it. Ill see if I cant find it in the pile of emails in my inbox.
Nope just finished looking I didnt save it (which I odd for me since I only delete spam and just about every email I have ever sent or ever recieved by an actual person still remains in there.
Used it in a trap league for a couple of years, along with all other shotgunning I was doing at the time. It is still tight as new. Just can't seem to get the thing to loosen up. [:D][:D]
Now if FCD would invite me out to his place.........I'd bring the thrower.
Worth the money? I thought/think so. Have not shot mine in a few years. An O/U doesn't seem to work well in competition shotgunning. [:0]

Mine was designed for competitions im sure of it. Either that or I am just that good of a shot with it. Wierd thing though I only miss at clays if the clay is close but if its out there I usually turn them into dust with this baby.
However, I still prefer a nice Belgium Superposed.
I personally feel that a Citori is the best value out there for over & unders. They are well made, well balanced, and look good. Oh yeah, they shoot nice too! I have a 410,28,20,and 12 Citori Superlight with the English stock and Schnabel fore end.

I think you might have the same one I do in 12 gauge is the Schnabel fore end on yours real wide? Cause Mine is.

Yeah like that mine has that wide on bottom real slim on the top of the fore end. It looks rather strange but is quite comfortable on the hands. I still cant believe just how lightwieght mine is for a 12 gauge.
Mine was designed for competitions im sure of it.
Sorry, I did not make it clear. The kind of competition I was talking about isn't trap, skeet, or sporting clays. While I have shot quite a bit of that kind of "competition" I was talking about another kind.
This one involves a stage like you would see in IPSC or IDPA. Multiple targets (30+) on a stage, where you run down the course, through doors, around walls, etc. and blast away.
Some people use a pump shotgun, but most use a semi-auto with at least a 6-7-8 round capacity. Never seen anyone use an O/U on this. Even given the 8+ round capacity, you still have to be REAL FAST on the reloads to be competitive. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh you meant like the show shooting usa and stuff like that (no I could never reload my citori that fast especially since I get hit in the face everytime I eject the shells)
The only thing wrong with Browning is Browning service. If you make any alterations to the barrel or triggers, Browning service will either refuse to work on it or replace all the altered parts with factory original. Most hunters don't mess with their shotguns but skeet and trap shooters modify lots of parts for fit, east of use, and to reduce flinching. If you alter it, don't plan on sending it to Browning repair. There are countless horror stories about Browning service in the trap and skeet shooting circles.
I never had any problem with thier customer service.
