I’ve been on the market for an affordable O/U shotgun for the last year or so. I shoot trap and am interested in getting into skeet and sporting clays. My LGS has a Browning Citori Lightning on consignment for less than $1,000. My research says 1975 production, and it has fixed chokes. I don’t know what the chokes are; I assume IC and Mod? Correct me if you have better insight.
It’s no frills as far as scrollwork, etc., but it’s a beautiful shotgun and shoulders and swings smoothly. I’ve attached a couple pictures. It’s the second from the right on the rack; the other photo is in my hand.
I feel like I should jump on it but the fixed chokes are making me hesitate. Am I wrong? Should I grab it quick? What would you do? This would be my first O/U.
