Default Browning Citori lightning value.

Looking at a early 1990's Browning Citori Lightning Grade 1. 28 inch barrels.
Has one choke in each barrel and that's all. (No extra chokes, no box , etc)

The gun is in truly excellent condition and does not display signs of use. 100% original condition .

What are going prices on what I described? Thank You.

Great guns..handle very well.High quality.Last forever.Good resale. 28" Bbl's will do everything from clays to live birds. Pretty much the same model that they sell today,which is $2k.new...so, If it's as nice as you say..and has at least respectable wood,I'd pay 14-15ish if I was in the market

I'd put it more at the $1,000 - $1,200 mark as described. The 1990s Browning changed from Invector to Invector Plus chokes, they also started back boring some guns.

If it is an Invector Plus gun and factory back bored, maybe a little more.

It's an investor. Not invector plus. As described. Basically does not show any use.

Used Invector choke tubes are available relatively cheaply. Look on eBay or at gun shows. I have two of every choke constriction for my 1980s Citori 12 gauge, I don't think I paid more than $10 for any of them.

I'm assuming this is a 12 gauge? 20 gauges sell for a couple hundred more than 12s as the 12s are viewed as clubby by some. If you haven't already done so, look at how the top lever is oriented when the action is closed. It should be centered or right of center. A lever that is left of center means it is worn and needs rebuilding.

Check the stock length to make sure it isn't cut or that there isn't and splits at the wrist. Remove the choke tubes to make sure they aren't frozen. Replacement tubes are available from Carlsons. Check and make sure the barrels haven't started to separate from the mid-rib.

The latest trend in shotguns is 32" & 34" barrels, subsequently 28" barreled guns can be had at a good price. You've probably checked all these things already, it's just that a shotgun can be worn out shooting targets, but still look good compared to a field gun that is carried a lot and shot little. I shoot in several trap and skeet clubs in central Ca. and a clean 12 ga. 28" field grade Invector Citori is $800-$1,000 around here.
