Product Overview
The Browning Citori Feather Lightning represents a refined integration of traditional over-under shotgun design with modern engineering. This platform is precisely crafted for consistent performance, delivering reliable function and contributing to enhanced accuracy in both competitive and field environments. The Citori’s design ethos prioritizes operational integrity and enduring visual appeal, critical for discerning shooters.
Key Features
Barrel and Choke System
The Citori Feather Lightning features 26-inch blued steel barrels, engineered for consistent shot patterns. Chrome-plated chambers mitigate wear from thousands of rounds, extending the operational lifespan of the firearm. Integrated Invector-Plus extended chokes, coupled with back-bore technology, optimize pattern density and reduce recoil impulse. A convenient barrel selector mechanism permits the operator to choose the initial firing sequence from the single trigger, with the subsequent pull engaging the remaining barrel.
Receiver and Locking Mechanism
The Feather Lightning model incorporates a lightweight alloy receiver, distinguished by a satin nickel finish and detailed engraving. This construction maintains structural rigidity while reducing overall weight for improved handling characteristics. The robust transverse-mounted, full-width tapered locking bolt mechanism securely engages the rear barrel lugs, ensuring consistent lock-up. A substantial hinge pin, extending across the full width of the receiver, further enhances the system’s strength and long-term durability.
Trigger and Ejection System
Equipped with Browning’s Triple Trigger system, this Citori variant allows for precise trigger shoe adjustment to optimize pull length. The automatic ejectors are calibrated to forcefully eject fired hulls upon breech opening, while unfired shells are elevated for straightforward manual removal, streamlining the reloading process.
Stock and Ergonomics
The American Black Walnut stock is shaped with a Lightening style grip, designed to provide secure and repeatable hand placement, contributing to improved weapon control and target acquisition. The aesthetic and functional design principles are meticulously balanced to meet the demands of experienced operators.
