I am interested to hear your opinions on the Verona over/under shotguns when compared to the browning Citori. I saw the Verona line at the Dixie Deer Classic in Raleigh, NC today and they are awesome looking guns. As far as asthetics, I gotta say that the Verona with the silver receiver and gold engraving of the quail and pheasants ebellished on the receiver was awesome. I also felt that from a "looks" standpoint, that the wood in the Verona is comparable to the grade VI Citori. I had my eyes on the Verona combo gun which includes a set of barrels for both the 20 ga. and the 28 ga. I see on gunbroker that this set can be bought for just under $1800. Do you think I would be happier with this or the Browning Citori 20 ga./28 ga. combo?????? The Citori combo is quite a bit more, and I really think I'd consider the Verona with the upgraded look.....
Let me know what you think.........
Thanks,

  Addition to my original question......
  
  I am inquiring about the Model LX692G-C, 20/28 , not the 501,502,503 models that can be had for $600-$800 at Dicks sporting goods. I'm not knocking the 501,502,and 503 models, I'm just clarifying my question.
  
  Thanks,

  woodyd70: I have a couple of Citoris and they are excellent guns,but, I have a Lanber that I like better for dove hunting, I prefer my Browning for Ducks. I guess it all depends on what you feel comfortable with. The Verona is a nice gun also, but how does it feel to you. Did the one you looked at fit you? I really don't think you'll be sorry choosing either gun.
