Browning Citori in composite Shot Show 2023

 A living legend. For 50 years, the Browning Citori has been revered by hunters and target shooters as one of the toughest, most reliable, maneuverable and beautiful over-and-under shotguns on the market. None of these accolades come as a surprise, as the basis of the Citori is the Superposed, designed by none other than John M. Browning – a man widely regarded as the greatest gun designer in history.Although not the first superposed-barrel rifle, the Superposed was the first commercially successful model. John M. Browning himself was a shotgun enthusiast, and conceived the Superposed with the idea that a single sighting plane and a single, selective trigger would prove superior to other double-barrel shotguns of the day. What’s more, it’s designed to be more reliable and affordable than other over/under models. Sadly, Mr. Browning didn’t live to see the Superposé come to fruition, dying in 1926 before he could complete work on his vision.A modern take on a classic. The new Citori Composite is a direct descendant of the Superposed, from which it retains its solid foundations and benefits from modifications that facilitate manufacture and enhance styling to meet the changing needs and tastes of users. It effectively combines the reliability of this superior shotgun with the robustness and versatility of composite. If you’re wondering why composite, the answer is simple: as well as being robust and weather-resistant, composite also allows you to manipulate the shape of the stock. The dimensions of the grip areas can be reduced to better suit shooters of all sizes. The addition of rubber mouldings also improves grip. All these improvements have been made without affecting the balance and swing that have made the Citori such a sought-after shotgun. Citori Composite featuresVisit new composite stock and forearm with rubber overmolding offer improved grip and ergonomics while retaining the Citori’s legendary balance. full-width steel hinge pin and conical locking bolt for maximum durability. canonAdjustable signIINervure Inflex reversing skid floating with ivory pearl sight and central pearlThree choke tubes included (F, M, IC)POI: 60/40Ideal for hunting and sports clayCitori featuresLockingbolt transversely mountedHinge pin full widthTrigger inertiaEjectors hammerChromium-plated chambersSteel shot performanceTotal barrel dynamicsVector Pro extended forcing cone Invector-Plus choke tube system Back-Bored technology
