Thanks

It was built in Japan 1984, has been reblued, Poor Job, & forearm has been replaced. I collect Remington 12 ga,s , Old marlins, custom mauser sporting rifles, & colt pistols, so as you can see I am out of my field with this browning. Any help will be great. Thanks for your time,

That being said, you asked for opinions. Everyone has one. I respect the Citori for being a nice gun, but I've never had one feel quite right. Then again, I'll say the same for a Superposed... Except that the Superposed is somehow so much more than a Citori.
My personal choice is a Red Label. I like the quality. I like the wood. I like the feel. I like "Made in USA". And I like the fact that Red Label's are more and more sought after by collectors (Earlier one's anyway). Just try to find one on the used market.
My opinion is by no means the only one, nor the correct one. Any gun that approaches the $1,000 mark is a good gun. The one that fits you and pleases you is the right one to own. All I'm saying is that you should blind yourself to brand names and choose the gun that "sings" when you swing it. You'd be crazy to consider any other.
