My guess after leaving a gunshow and looking at lots of O/U it would be worth 1000.00 to 1200.00

+1 depending on the amount of “unpristineness” it has. Pics would be a plus in determining value.

Longer barrels are in vogue now, so that might hurt the value a tad.

I sold one on GunBroker in January with the 24 inch barrels (Upland Special) with most all the same characteristics as yours. It sold for $1450.

I’d say $850.00 tp 900.00. This price takes into account the barrel length and previous use and accompanying bruises.

I’d say $1,000 give or take is pretty fair based on the condition described.

Yall are making me feel bad. I bought last weekend in Tulsa a Browning Citori Lightning Field Grade 3 16ga 26" in box. Its pristine and if its been shot I'd say less than 2 boxes. Serial number shows it as a 1989 model. Has beautiful gloss finish with dark swirl wood. I gave $2050. Ive been searching for a nice on in 16ga for several years. Dont have many down here in Mississippi

16 GA are in a different ballpark. Trap guys prefer the longer barrels more so than most hunters. Look no further than A5's or Model 12's, barrel lengths affect value as much as fixed chokes or the guy or gal looking for a particular gun.

26” barrels are like slow twist rifle barrels. Out of favor with shooters, even skeet shooters are shooting 30” barrels today.
Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

I copied this.
The choke effects the range of modern hunting shotguns much more than barrel length. A 60 cm barrel could have a longer range than a 81 cm barrel if the latter was a lot less choked than the former.
So what do you need a long gun for?
A long barrel gives you various advantages, not just in terms of range, it’s also a great help for the perfect collimation of the targeted point, making it easier to hit the center of the target in more difficult conditions.
In fact, the longer the barrel, the longer your line of sight is.
That’s why long guns are still used for hunting in mountain passes, on English drives, when hunting waterfowl from a boat, and also in Trap or walked-up Sporting where you’ll be firing at targets at ranges of over 50 meters.
Furthermore, as a longer barrel makes a gun more balanced, it creates the ideal aiming conditions for shots taken at very sharp angles, preventing jerky movements or losing linear contact with the target.
The Advantage of 26" or shorter barrels are in cover or a smaller person, it will be easier or faster to swing, for a big guy, he pay push through the shot and then have to wait for the target to catch up. I sold a Rem 1100 Special Sporting, 21" barrel and straight grip, gun was light and swung well and never felt under gunned with it even chasing pheasants, chokes help make up the distance along with good ammo. There is a place for that tube length, so as others said, pictures will help tell the story.

I bought the exact same superlite 12ga.years ago for around 1800? if I remember and it is still in the box downstairs. I think browning only makes the 16ga. now.
I spend all my money on loose women and trapping supplies.....The rest I just waste.
