Buds will price match their 28" 16 gauge lightnings for $1629 right now. Then 10% rebate takes it down to around $1450 or so delivered. I'll look better missing soon.

Looks like the 28" are gone, the 26" remain.

I am not a Citori fan, but these are an exception. I bought one, a Superlight 28” with steel frame, several years ago and love it. It’s built on a true 16 gauge frame and is a steal for the money. I paid more than this for mine and felt I got a bargain.

The only thing I don’t like about it is the choke system. The Browning chokes are too stubby, taper too quickly. Easy fix was a few Briley extended black chokes.

Will check those out. Have a lot of time to practice before next fall.

Sounds like a good deal, those 16 gauge guns are nice!
