I was just informed that she ( my darling wife) has purchased a Browning Citori Trap Grade 6.Has gold inlays of birds and dogs and pretty stuff like that, came in a browning case, with Mod and Imp Mod choke tubes. She said there are two little scratches on the stock. She claims it is in good shape with a tight action. After checking out the serial # against browning's helpful web site, I was able to determine that it was manufactured in 1990.
She is now a WEEK in to the 10 days waiting period. She says she paid $2,000 for it.
Should I go kill the guy who sold it to here?... or should I thank him?...

Hurry, I have 3 days to decide.

It really depends on how much you get to shoot it!!!!!!!!!!

I dont get to shoot my Citori since my wife started breaking clays with it.

Enjoy

Are you sure it;s for you, She may have a clayshooting boyfriend.. Bushrod

I know for a fact that it is NOT for me.
Its for her.
But what is the judgement on price? Is it a bit much? just right? not enough?

My wife absconded my Citori when we first got married. I then introduced her to a sweet Ithaca 37 and she hasn't touched my Citori since. I got my gun back and she let's me use her 37 anytime.

What made you think it was for him???

Grade VI? Heck, the wood should be worth a grand!

Seriously, it's a great gun, she certainly paid a little for the wood and engraving, but it will be REAL pretty. I think it sounds like a pretty good deal actually. Grade VI wood after market is something like $450 for the butt alone.

Ive never seen a grade VI that cheap...and with a case...an extra 2 or 3 hundred bucks. I think she got a heck of a deal!

Got any pics?

That seems to be about right for a used one. The Citori can cost well over $2000 depending on where you buy and which grade. If she's happy with her new gun and you're not stuck eating ramen noodles for a month then let her enjoy it.

So, She picked it up Tuesday, and took it to the range Wednesday…
What a gem… wonderful choice, beautiful 100% engraved, gold inlays on all sides, superior wood. Shoots like a champ, a true Trap gun. And I got to shoot it as well. :wink:

Sounds to me like she knows more about what she is doing than you do. And she did not have to get on the forum and ask if she got a good price. Believe you need to sit back and watch her shoot.

Nothing bonkers about buying a nice Browning.

Bill... When you are right you are right. I am proud to say though, I have thought her all she knows about men and guns
