Used Citori -- 3-1/2" chamber

SeanH · Jan 11, 2007

Been looking for a Citori after falling in love shooting a friend's. Last night ran across a "used" one (sure looked new to me!) for a nice price ($1,100).

Not sure what model -- no engraving, and it's got 3-1/2" chamber. I like the stark simplicity of it.

Plan to use for pheasant and other upland birds a half-dozen or so times a season and shooting some clays.

Will this gun be too heavy? That's my only reluctance.

I had a 3 1/2in Citori and sold it for $850 about 3 years ago for just that reason...Mine was an earlier model with the standard engraveing and gloss stock and was in LN condition with box/papers.....It weighs quite a bit more than the 3in gun [1/2 lb. to 3/4 lbs] and is made mostly for waterfowl hunting [sitting and waiting] ....it becomes quite a load to haul around in the field all day but would work OK for clays......Id wait for a 3in gun or even a 20ga for what you'll be using it for.....

I have one that I use religiously for waterfowl. I love the gun, but for all the walking involved in pheasant hunting, I'm not sure It'd be my first choice.

Are you going to shoot 3.5" shells at pheasant? If not, I would get a lighter gun. If so, then the Citori would seem a fine choice. But I would not carry it to shoot regular loads. Too heavy.
