Indicative only. A second-hand gun is worth what its condition, chambering and provenance say — these are published figures, not an offer.

Chapter 01

Overview

Introduced in 1973 as a more affordable version of the Superposed, the Citori is made for Browning by Miroku at Nankoku in Japan and sold through Browning’s headquarters in Morgan, Utah. The name means nothing at all — it was coined for the advertising.

Chapter 02

How it works

An over-and-under with internal hammers on coil springs, ejectors that re-cock the gun as it opens, and a single gold-plated trigger whose barrel selector is built into the safety behind the top lever. Opening the gun does not put the safety on, the bores are chrome-lined on newer guns, and back-bored 12 and 20 bores take Invector Plus chokes.

Chapter 03

In the field

Built for upland birds and waterfowl as much as for trap, skeet and sporting, with barrels from 26 to 32 inches. Current screw-in Invector chokes take lead, bismuth or steel, but older fixed-choke guns should not be fed steel; in Sweden 12 and 20 bore are allowed for all shotgun hunting, while 28 and .410 are limited to class 4 game such as grouse and pigeon.
