Our Assessment: Browning Citori shotguns are extremely dependable and make for great investments. The Citori was introduced in 1973 as an alternative to the highly successful Superposed model. It has been made ever since in numerous calibers and configurations filling just about any role you could think of for an over under shotgun. The design was, and still is, a massive hit. After Browning hit the one million milestone, they released the One Millionth Commemorative in 2008 as a 500 gun SHOT Show special. There are gold banners that read “One Millionth” and the model name is also marked in gold. The receiver is beautifully relief scroll engraved with the left side featuring the buckmark, the right side “Citori”, and also in gold, the lifter reminds us all what the Citori is today: “The Best / There Is”. The wood is beautiful Grade V/VI wood with special engraving and phenomenal grain. This one does not look to have been used often, if ever, and even comes with a host of commemorative accessories that include a knife, knife case, high grade leather case featuring top grain dark brown leather with 100% wool lining, brass hardware, and engraved plaque. The shotgun has a beautiful blued finish accented by gold and silver scroll engraving on the frame. This shotgun looks amazing and will be an immediate enhancement to any collection it joins.
