I did a little more investigating on my 20ga Shot Show Citori...

[Old Unc']

for the record, it was issued in 2010, not 2011. It's an almost exact copy of the base model (wood and engraving) 1963 Lightning style, Belgian Superposed, including longer (non-ported!) barrel lengths of 30 and 32 inches. Although, the retro Citori has laser engraving, it's finer and much more stylish, as on the original. The wood has also been upgraded to a #3 grade with a hand rubbed oil finish. And, the Citori is supplied with three flush cut Invector+ choke tubes; IC/M/F (I bought two additional skeet chokes). Truly a wonderful and well thought out offering from Browning. Only 200 in each barrel length produced. This one is a keeper!!

The closest I'll ever get to a new B25!

Either way...awesome gun

 

[Old Unc']

thanks JM. I love shooting it, it balances so well with the 30" barrels...

Congratulations. I had no idea Browning ever made those. Now I want one and I'm not a Browning O/U fan most days. That gun is just right and thank goodness it's not ported.

 

[Old Unc']

John, they float around every now and then. They also made them in 12 gauge with 32" barrels, with blued receiver. Quite frankly the 28" standard catalog version would be almost as nice...

and thank goodness it's not ported.

WOOHOO, yet another anti-porting person!

Very nice Browning Unc...........

1ozLoad, you are an instigator!!

 

[oneounceload]

Nope, not me, no way, uh-huh....just a man on a mission.........

Shotgun barrels work best with only two holes in them - one at each end!.....

 

[Old Unc']

1ozLoad, just for you... LOLOL!!

 

[oneounceload]

ARGH! My eyes!

actually, I have a few Brownings with the extra holes, wish I could find a way to fill them in........
