Browning Introduces the New Citori White Lightning Over-Under

    Browning have introduced the latest in their line of Citori over and under sporting shotguns. The 12 gauge Citori White Lightning combines a silver nitride finished steel receiver with intricate engraving, polished blued barrels, oil finish grade III or IV walnut furniture and extended black band Invector-Plus choke tubes.

    The new shotgun is available in 26 and 28 inch barrel lengths, weighing just over 8 lbs. According to Browning’s website the Citori White Lightning’s ‘round knob’ pistol grip provides the shooter a natural, solid, repeatable grip position for each shot, “thus offering better control for fast-flying waterfowl upland game, sporting clays or trap and skeet.”
