    I have a citori which barrel is supposed to fire first the top or bottom. Can you change it.

    I love mine, it is NOT for sale and what ever I shoot at gets hit, 30" tubes, Invector Plus and 3-1/2 inch chambers. It is a beauty to look at simple elegance in design, flawless in function and holds its value.

    The Browning Citori's are fine shotgunsindeed. They can be had as plain as one wants, or dressed up as elegant as one would desire. They always seem to function well, and are great pointer's. There are not many stack barrels out there that can compete with the Citori for value, and longevity. That is not saying that there are not better ones out there, but one has to travel pretty far to beat a Citori.

    I have several field and skeet and for the money, they cannot be beat. The only caveat I have is that they are heavier than most other O/U's so if there is a lot of walking and carrying involved like upland bird shooting, this is their only shortcoming. I ended up buying 20ga Winchster 101 for that type of hunting.

    I lucked into an old used one for just over $400. My first quail excursion down in Nevada netted me 18 for 27 shots. Being that was the first hunts that I had been on with that shotgun, I felt it was really good. Since then I've gone over about 80% success with it whenever I hunt birds.

    Best fitting, most ergonomic shotgun, I have ever owned, let alone shoot.

    Howdy Sage,

    Consensus is in-- Citori is among the top best bang for the buck. Durability/maintence free is also outstanding, a big factor when throwing lead in the air playing whatever clay game all day long. This gun is a proven winner, period.

    Not too much touched on yet is the resell question-- as always, condition & grade are main factor, not to mention that sad thing called "The Economy", as sure you know.
    So, while does not hold the aura of say some exculsive high dollar investment quality name, it hold it's own value as good as any off the rack brands.

    The Citori is made by Miroku in Japan. I've never had a problem with any of my Citori's. I would recommend getting the Invector Plus choked back bored barrels.
    The Win 101 was made by Nikko in Japan.
    The first 101's were built under the supervision of Winchester at the Kadensha Corporation plant in Japan. Then, the action was pretty much a copy of the Browning Superposed.
    Now, its parts are machined in Belgium and assembled in Portugal, and the action differs from the original.
    Both Browning and Winchester, are now owned by Cerebus.

    Michibay, was barely into my first cup of coffee when I posted "Both were made in Japan" then went back to add Miroku and Nikko, got sidetracked and forgot Nikko.[:I] Thanks for the correction!

    The Citori is one of the best O/U's available for the money today. They are made by Miroku in Japan...a VERY GOOD Gun maker! Their re-sale value is quite good too. For the money....the only gun that might be a better buy is a good used Winchester 101.

    The Winchester 101 was NOT made by Miroku! It was made by Nikko in Japan.

    I have had a 525 Gold Sporting with 30" barrels for 4 or 5 years and absolutely love it. Has a bit more drop than the Beretta's I have so it fits me better and makes me look like I can shoot [:D]
