    I have a Browning Citori Upland,12guage. It has fixed chokes full/mod. I want to have choke tubes intalled . Anybody have this done or any suggestions? I have been told Briley tubes are the best. Will Browning even consider putting tubes in it?

    Hello,

    I am looking at 12 ga shotguns. I am looking at a Browning Citori that says on the box: 28" model c ltng. I also look on Gun Broker and see several white lightening and a "G" model. I don't know the difference. I am particularly interested in understanding what the "c ltng" is. The box says Grad I. Also I see one that says vertually the same thing except Grad V. I simply do not understand all the acronyms for the Citori. Can you help? Further, what is the value of a 12ga Citori 28" with two factory chokes, Grad I?

    Maybe I'm insane but I'm thinking of buying a browning citori that has wonderful deep old style engraving and THEN buying another browning citori that has eye popping deeply figured wood so that I can swap the best wood onto the best receiver and visa versa.

    I would then keep the best one and sell the second gun. Is that easier said than done? What am I missing? Would this be a bad idea or a mistake? I'm ok if I lose $500 doing this.

    Thanks

    Any idea what a Browning Citori grade 3 is worth? Gun has about 500 rounds through it. No sratches or marks, has real pretty high gloss wood

    I love the Citori, I envy you having two. [:D] but the stocks may not match up perfectly. It may require some wood working to get a good fit from one receiver to the other.

    Are you sure you want a "CITORI" How about a "SUPERPOSED" ??

    Nothing against a Citori, I've had one for 20+ years. IMHO, go to the Browning Custom Catalog and order yourself a B25 the way you want it. Oh, it'll cost more than two Citori's, but, it will be what you want it to be.

    Buy the "fancy receiver" and than send the "plain" wood out to be duplicated in some AA-Fancy Claro Walnut.
    For display put on your "show wood", for hard use put on your "plain wood"

    I'm with Tailgunner here.

    If you're willing to spend $500 on the project, why not just get a nice custom stock made?

    Do that and you can have the stock custom fitted to you at the same time.

    If you want something REALLY nice, this will probably cost you more than $500, but then you'll have the gun the exact way you want it.
