Our Assessment: This Browning Citori Feather Lightning in 12-gauge was manufactured in 2004, it is a lightweight, elegant over/under shotgun designed for fast handling in the field. It features 26? barrels chambered for 3? shells and is threaded for Invector Plus choke tubes, offering versatile performance across a range of upland game and clay target applications. The receiver is finished in bright French grey (coin finish) and tastefully adorned with light engraving, contrasting handsomely with the deeply blued barrels. A gold-toned trigger adds a touch of refinement.
The stock is crafted from high-gloss walnut, shaped with a Prince of Wales grip and paired with a rounded forend for a classic upland feel. The "Feather" designation refers to the alloy receiver with steel breech face and hinge insert, reducing weight without sacrificing strength. This model weighs noticeably less than a standard steel receiver Citori, making it ideal for extended field use. The Lightning-style stock and lighter frame result in a fast-mounting, well-balanced shotgun prized by bird hunters and collectors alike.
