Description

BROWNING CITORI 12G OVER AND UNDER SHOTGUN.    

Exceptionally CLEAN example of a Classic 12g Browning Citori Over and Under Multi-Choke Shotgun. ‘Bright’ Matt Finished Action with minimal Vignettes of Scroll Engraving to each side. The bottom is simply plain with only the brand and model detailed. Plus, the usual Browning Buck Head Logo to the Trigger Guard. Simple but Very Effective. As the saying goes: A little can go a long way. 

28″ (710mm) Multi-Choke Barrels with a 1/2″ (12mm) Ventilated Sporting Rib. That finished with Cross Ribbed Pattern to each outer third. Then the middle with the same ribbed pattern running along the full length by way of a sighting aid. Finished off with a single Silver finished Bead to match the rest of the metalwork. As does the trigger too. 

Stock measures to 14 7/8″ (377mm) so should be good for quite a tall man as it is. They combine to bring in an Overall length of 45 5/8″ (1160mm). Scales tip at 7 lb 11 ½ oz (3.503 Kg). 

A Strong Straight Grain along the entire stock. However, it does also offer fairly decent and relatively heavy Tiger Stripe Highlights to both sides. Especially if the light catches it well. Still has the original Browning Butt Plate too. Chequering is Very Crisp, even sharp to the touch still. It’s pretty OBVIOUS it spent the bulk of its existence in the dark so far, locked up. 

Currently only the two chokes fitted are present. They are marked III and IIII to the rim which equates to ½ and ¼ (Imp. Cyl.) Restrictions. IF other options are needed then happy to sort out whatever you think you need. However, they are not inexpensive if they need ordering in. 

The barrel also stamped and detailed with 2 ¾” and 3″ so good for standard as well as Magnum Cartridges.

The last one of these I had SOLD for another £500 AND was a LOT older!

£1099.99

As for the Lead Sh-t ‘FIASCO’? READ ON:

FIRST THING:  Given lead is SO dangerous, can we ask about getting every lead water main replaced? After all, ANYONE with one of those still supplying water has zero choice. LETS PUT THAT QUESTION TO HEALTH AND SAFETY EXECUTIVE AS WELL AS THE GOVERNMENT.

That is every child’s grazed knee washed out with lead infested water (direct into their blood stream). Every glass of juice. Every cup of tea or coffee, Vegetables washed and cooked in the stuff. ALL that DELICIOUS Gravy. Cloths washed in it. Then we bath in the sodding lead infested stuff!

HOW DO THEY DEFEND THIS FACT?

THEN THERE ARE more and more None Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern day shooting. IF its so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?

Anyway, take a look for yourself:

NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.

YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!

On that note I AM looking into the possibility of stocking some direct from Steve at Hortons.                                                     RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
