Overview
The Browning Citori Gran Lightning 20 Gauge Over Under Shotgun is engineered for the discerning shooter who demands precise pattern delivery and robust field performance. This platform integrates proven Citori durability with enhanced handling dynamics, optimized for upland hunting and competitive target applications. Its construction emphasizes a balance of reliability, ergonomic design, and consistent mechanical function.
Key Features
Barrel and Choke System
The Gran Lightning features 26-inch ventilated rib barrels, precisely aligned for consistent point-of-impact. Chambered for 3-inch shells, these barrels offer versatility with a range of ammunition types. The included Invector-Plus™ choke system allows for precise pattern density customization, ensuring optimal pellet distribution across varying target distances. Chrome-lined bores enhance corrosion resistance and simplify maintenance, extending the barrel’s service life.
Receiver and Action
Constructed with a robust steel receiver, the Citori Gran Lightning utilizes Browning’s renowned low-profile trunnion hinge system. This design mitigates felt recoil and maintains a consistent, secure lock-up over extended service life. The mechanical trigger system provides crisp, consistent pull weights, devoid of inertia-dependent reset issues often found in alternative designs. Automatic ejectors facilitate rapid shell extraction, crucial for competition or fast-paced hunting scenarios.
Stock and Ergonomics
The Grade II/III black walnut stock is designed with a classic Lightning-style grip, providing natural pointability and efficient recoil absorption. Its oil finish protects the wood while offering a tactile, non-slip surface. The overall balance of the shotgun is calibrated to mitigate muzzle rise and promote swift, repeatable target acquisition.
Trigger and Safety
Equipped with a single selective trigger, enabling the shooter to choose which barrel fires first based on operational requirements. The top-tang safety and barrel selector are ambidextrous, providing intuitive and secure control during all phases of operation.
