    Finally got my Citori!

    Once I got started skeet shooting, I promised myself that I'd get a decent O/U after I ran 25 straight. Well, its been almost a year and a half since that first perfect run and I finally picked up a Browning Citori Special Sporting Clays 12 ga 28" barrel O/U. She may not be perfect... but I'll love her all the same.

    Now I just need to find some time off to go test her out.

    Gorgeous!
    "Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
    Let my aim be true and my hand faster
    than those who would seek to destroy me.
    Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
    Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
    And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home
    Let me die in a pile of empty brass."
    Amen

          It is a very good looking gun, and I know it may be odd to say this, the gun sounds great when fired.

          I was on the trap field at Coyote Valley with my colleague when another 2 people showed up. One of them had the exact same shotgun you bought, he rented it from Coyote Valley, they let you "demo" new guns for a price ($10 for 25 shots). When he fired this shotgun, it sounded great, very "punchy" with a deep resonance.

          It seems to pattern very nice too with the Modified choke he had on (being a nice guy, I offered to launch the clay for them and we chatted and drooled over the gun afterwards...). When he hits, the clays are hit very hard, breaking into many tiny pieces.

          Great purchase!

                That is a nice looking shotgun! I get to pick mine up on December 18th. It is a Citori White Lightning, 12GA with 28" barrels.

                  Thanks for the comments, fellas!

                  Reelemup, I am definitely looking to get the gun fitted. I figure I'll take her out and shoot her a few times before I make any changes, though. But the concept of getting a gun fitted to me was the primary reason for this purchase. Prior to this, I was shooting a synthetic stock Mossberg 930 that just didn't quite fit perfectly. I can't wait to see how a "fitted" shotgun feels.

                  RudyN - Nice! I love the look of the white lightnings. If I hadn't found such a good deal on my Citori Spec sporting clays model, I probably would have gone for a white lightning.

                    Here you go, and OP what do you mean she may not be perfect. It looks great.

                      An over-under is somewhere in my future but for now I will be happy with my unsingle.

                          I shoot a standard 28" citori as my trap gun. Shot her all through high school...love that gun. Just recently got her out here and am looking to start again

                              Beautiful. I never thought I would care for an O/U, but my dad bought me one for Xmas and it became my favorite.
