Browning Broke My Piggy Bank

[Rutin2tin]

Just ordered a new Browning Citori Satin Hunter in 20 gauge.
My piggy bank has been officially terminated, and I can't wait to receive the firearm, piggy bank or not.


Why a 20 gauge O/U?     
Welp, I already own a 12 gauge O/U, and really wanted a "quality" O/U in 20 gauge. 
Supposed to be here by Wednesday, Nov 30, 2011.


Dang it, those 20 gauge O/U guns are difficult to find, though lot's of 12's available.
No Mossberg Silver Reserves found in 20, nor Stevens Gold Wing 20's either, except at that Missouri based outdoor conglomerate.
Didn't agree with their pricing, however, and actually found a Citori 20 in Minnesota, plus their price for the Browning was the best I had seen in recent memory.
I found Rugers too, but I really didn't have the funds for a new Ruger Red Label, as it's quite a bit higher priced than the Browning Citori Hunter, plus I didn't care for the low comb of the Ruger O/U.


Here's a Browning.com  link to the image of the Citori Hunter shotgun:

20 gague is getting more populas than 12. For anyone who reloads, some rounds are just as potent as a 12 gague. A lot less terminal damage with  a 20 for those who hunt upland game.

 I have a Citori 'Lightning Feather', 26" in 20 ga. It's easily my very favorite upland game shotgun. You made a fine choice.

Yep, the 16, 20, 28 and 410 gauges are the ticket for upland, and if you don't reload the 20 or 410 is the obvious choice.   Even though I did reload I've had a bunch of 20's and 410's, and could always find factory ammo for them if I ran out on an extended hunt.   I even shot trap the most often with a 20, and mostly only used the 12's and 10's for waterfowl.
 
I went looking for a high grade Browning Superposed 12 O/U many years ago, and was ready to pay the toll whatever it was.   But when I found one and compared it to a Falcor Brevette that shop also had, the later came home with me instead.    Great SG that served me very well until I let a friend talk me out of it for sporting clays.
