Browning Citori Lightning Sporting Clays 12ga -99%, CASED

While John Browning’s genius created the original Browning superposed it was Mr. Browning’s grandson John Val who travelled to Japan in the 1960’s to supervise manufacturing of the Browning Superposed. Christened the Citori, it joined the Browning line of over/unders Inheriting all the excellent attributes of the original Browning design and then adding selective improvements to aid with modern manufacturing processes. The Citoris receiver is milled from a solid block of steel and the chambers are hard-chromed lined for longevity.
