impulse buy,opinions?

grayson71 · Aug 6, 2017

Ive been toying around with buying an O/U for trap shooting. I was perusing gunbroker this morning and ran into this.

when i found it, the cost was at 550.00. I looked around and found these Citoris usually go for a lot more than this, so i impulse bid and got at a really good price

Are there any known issues with these that I should look for when it arrives?

Looks like a nice gun.

I don't know anything about them, but it's certainly pretty!

I have the Citori White Lightning. No known issues through 6 years of ownership and definitely not a safe queen.

Hopefully a great find for you.

Had to read that twice. It reads C-I-T-O-R-I-S.

I was wondering when they started selling the other on Gunbroker.

no issues - great guns. I have a 3 1/2" chambered 12 version and have used it for skeet trap ducks & geese for 20 years. For $655.00 you stole it. Based on the high comb and because the auction doesn't say it is probably a fixed full choke trap gun. If so you can always send it out to have choke tubes installed if that matters. I wouldn't bother. I shoot a lot of vintage guns with full chokes and do just fine even at skeet. Most chokes give you another couple inches of pattern at target ranges and most misses are feet....

im not too worried about it . I know it's an older gun an i figured it would be full chokes as well. I'm just a casual clay shooter, so it should be just fine. Thanks for confirming my thoughts, i figure that its probably close to being worth twice what i paid for it.
