Fixed choke or choke tubes?

Not a gun I would go for either way so I will not venture a guess on price.

 

Without more information, it is very hard to give you any value on the gun. There are many different Citori models. Also, as already indicated it is important to know if it is fixed chokes or screw in chokes and what size they are. Regardless, a 24 inch O/U is going to be a hard sell. Most buyers now a days don't even consider 26 inch barrels desirable. So the barrels will probably significantly reduce the value.

 

Great little grouse guns in the thick stuff. Even if they are fixed chokes they are usually improved cylinder and modified. Not a gun for high volume target shooting, but good for quick shots in the brush. I am sure you could sell it in ruffed grouse hunting country. Price will depend on condition.

It has screw in chokes.

This gun might have a nickname "The Uplander".

Are there any hunter forums?

 

If the chambers are 2-3/4" instead of three inches, that probably is a Citori Superlight. I used to have one in 12ga. Should be worth a bit more than a 28" barreled Citori. Great grouse and bunny gun. I wish I hadn't traded mine but I did get back about what I paid for it new.

 

It's an "Upland Special" and a few are usually out there for sale

As said, it is desirable for the thick stuff, and more likely to sell in NE or the upper midwest.

 

I still don't believe there is much of a demand for 24 inch O/Us even for grouse hunters. If you look at the guns on Gunbroker there is only one of the Uplanders that has any bids and that one the high bid is only $810.

This was about the number that I thought the gun would be worth. A few years ago, a buddy of mine shopped around a 20 gauge Superlight and about all he could get for offers was $800-900. So, I didn't expect the Upland Special to bring any ore than that.

 

Pretty much a speciality sale for sure. You would need to find someone who wants that model. Even then the buyer would probably want it cheap. I sold a very nice 26" Citori for about $1000. That is about where I would start with the Uplander if I had time to spend selling it. Maybe $750 would bring some semi interested parties running?

Ok, good information, I will try to get $700 for it.

Thanks to all that respondered.

I sold mine like that a few years back for $800. The guy thought he stole it from me. But I knew I got the better end of that deal. That gun had never hit a single bird in the year I hunted with it.

 

If this gun was in my LGS for 700 I would be going home with it

The short barrels tend to shoot high. Perfect for rising grouse or a bunny that let you step on it. For crossing shots you just gotta get used to the bead being a bit more under the target.
