For a brief few months I was without a shotgun, and I can assure you it is an emasculating and throughly unfortunate feeling. Thankfully though, my malady has been rectified. For a few months I've been looking for a lightweight 20GA double that fit me well and swung proper. Lo' and behold, on Saturday at a local gunshow I saw a man carrying one and we struck a deal.
I'm now the proud owner of a Citori superlight with an english stock and 26" tubes. I had preferred 28" tubes, but these balance so well I was sold. Very 'magic wand' for me so the doves/quails/pheasants better watch out.
Pictures to follow

George,I've a regular Citori Lightning 20 with the 26" barrels. Sometimes in shirt sleaves it just swings to fast but with a sweatshirt on and a Filson vest it's all you could want in handling. best of luck .Magnum Man (yeah I wish mine were 28" too)

My twenty is the old Superposed with 26.5 IC/M tubes. To me it is just about perfect.
My 12 is a Beretta 687 SP IV, 28" with choke tubes. Being a little larger gun, it also suits me rather well.

26 inch barrels and English grip, make a field gun perfect for carrying and shooting, in either 12 or 20 Ga... ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/shotguns/101_0499_zps29c2fbea.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee202/bridgershooters/shotguns/100_1116.jpg)

When I was looking for a 20 Citori White Lightning, I tried both the 26 and 28. The 26 felt too whippy to me. The 28 points, for me, like a wand.

I have never seen one with 28 inch tubes and a straight grip, 26 on a o/u is too short for me I have seen 2 or 3 others with 28" and straight grip for sale in Canada, but they all had fixed chokes. Mine is the only one I've seen with invectors.

Mine is the only one I've seen with invectors. So the gun is a freak,  Probly best you ship that gun to me just to save you the embarrassment of carrying such a weird gun. No thanks required, Im happy to help.
