Browning Citori XS Special 12 Gauge w/30" Barrel/Adjustable Comb/High Post Rib - Blue/Black, 30" Barrel, 2 + 1 Rounds, Synthetic, 2.75" Chamber, Adjustable Stock

Browning Citori 30" AC, Hi-Post rib, without a doubt it IS the best shotgun for the money. Beats hands down the Beretta, Win, and for the $$, Kreighoff, ...With a price of 2750.00 and some change you can have it tubed (Briley) w/case for about 2,200.00 and some change ..so for about 5K you are in the skeet game with ALLOT of $$ left over for other goodies. Like a REM 1100 Premier for that doubles gun..we shoot doubles on Friday afternoon..anyway. enjoy.

I weighed mine and found it to be lighter than specidied at 8 lbs 3 oz. It feels a bit beefier than my last over under, a Beretta White Onyx. I expecially like the non-automatic safety for skeet, one less thing to remember. The wood is decent, with just a little etching for eye appeal. I've sent it to Briley for subgauge tubes installation. It should be just about perfect at about 9 pounds for four or five gun competition. I've tried it at trap too and it does just fine. If I want to later, the adjustable comb may come in handy, another reason I picked it. The elevated rib is a bit higher than a standard skeet gun but not as exacerated as many trap guns. The level comb allows a better cheek weld than a more severe drop at heel field model. One minor surprise, the action opens more easily than a new Beretta model, but seem to lock up soundly. The forend takes a little getting used to, the small plunger has to be exactly aligned to install. I didn't find the finish to be particularly tarnish resistant. When I missed a finger print, it left a permanent smug on the sliver. Many good features I didn't cover including the fiber optic sights, adjustable trigger position, and replaceable triggers, all at no extra charge.
