For Sale: Browning Citori 28ga

For Sale: Browning Citori 28 gauge. $1445

To the best of my knowledge, this shotgun is the Grade 1 Lightening model. It has 28" barrels, threaded for the Invector style choke tubes. It comes with two skeet chokes, no others. The shotgun has been fitted with a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad, yielding a length of pull of 14 1/4 to the end of the pad. It is a 1" pad, so length of pull could easily be reduced by fitting a thinner pad, which I can offer if the buyer desires.

The shotgun has been used, but seems to be in nice condition with a tight fit in the action. It does have the usual scratches and handling marks that these shiny Brownings can't avoid when actually used. The price above includes shipping (UPS ground with insurance) to your FFL. Local purchase in Fort Collins CO would require a legal transfer, which I will cover the fees for. The shotgun is in CO, but I could easily get it to southern Idaho in a few weeks, or anywhere along the way from CO.

For Sale: Browning BPR .22 Magnum

For Sale: Browning BPR .22 Magnum $950 Shipped

This rifle appears to be unfired. Upon inspecting with a borescope, the bore and bolt face show no evidence of ever being fired. Since I can not confirm this, I am selling it as "like new". I do not have the factory box or manuals.

There are a couple handling marks/minor scratches to note, but it otherwise looks new. There are two minor scratches on the barrel, on the right side at the end of the forend, and a second near the muzzle. On the left side of the buttstock, there is a pressure mark in the finish on the wood.

This has a 20" barrel, dovetailed receiver for scope mounting, iron sights, and is of course, a pump action. This is a fairly rare rifle chambered for the .22 WRM in the condition it is in. It would make a great addition to a collection, or a fine rifle to walk around in the woods with.

The price above includes shipping (UPS ground with insurance) to your FFL. Local purchases in Fort Collins CO would require a legal transfer, which I will cover the fees for.

Note: Small scratch shown on barrel under the front sight.

Note: Pressure mark in the finish, shown just to the right of the "flash reflection"

Note: Small scratch on the barrel, just above the forend tip.

VAIS Micro Brake installed.

Prepped for Cerakote, the parts hang in the spray booth ready for Sniper Green.

Finished up, Sawtooth Rifles #32 poses for some pictures before being picked up by the customer.

Sniper Green, a close match to McMillan's green in their GAP camo.

Our customer's first 100 yard group after a few sighters zeroing the scope. This was with Barnes factory ammo. Nice shooting, Sir. Subtracting the .308 bullet diameter from his measurement yields a .131" group. (customer supplied photo - thanks)

300 Yard group, using hand loaded Berger bullets, 190 VLD's I believe, this calculates to a sub 3/4 MOA group at typical hunting range. (customer supplied photo - thanks)
