There is a reason the Citori has been the go-to break action for American bird hunters and clay shooters for fifty years, and the Feather Lightning takes that proven recipe and makes it noticeably easier to carry. The trick is a lightweight alloy receiver mated to a steel breech face and hinge pin, which keeps the wear points steel where it counts while dropping the 12 gauge down to right around 7 pounds 2 ounces. If you have ever lugged a full-weight over/under through a long day of pheasant cover, you know exactly why that matters.
The rounded knob pistol grip and matching rounded forearm are what give the Lightning its name, and they are more than just good looks. That round knob puts your hand in the same spot every single mount, which translates to consistent control whether you are swinging on a crossing clay or a rooster flushing at your boots. The gloss oil-finished Grade III/IV black walnut is genuinely handsome wood, set off by broad coverage engraving on the silver nitride receiver and deep polished blue on the 28 inch barrels.
Underneath the pretty exterior is the same stout lockup Citoris are known for: a full-width transverse tapered locking bolt engaging tapered recesses in the rear barrel lugs, with a hinge pin running the full width of the receiver. The 3 inch chrome-plated chambers shrug off high volume use, the back-bored barrels help pattern quality, and automatic ejectors kick fired hulls clear while lifting unfired shells for easy removal. A single selective trigger with the barrel selector built into the tang safety lets you pick which choke fires first.
With a 46 inch overall length, 14 1/4 inch length of pull, ivory front and mid-bead sights, and three extended Invector-Plus chokes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) in the box, this gun is ready for upland birds, sporting clays, or skeet the day you bring it home. An Inflex recoil pad takes the edge off heavier loads, so the light weight does not beat you up. It is a lifetime gun, plain and simple.
The Feather Lightning weighs right around 7 pounds 2 ounces in 12 gauge, which shaves roughly three quarters of a pound off a comparable steel-receiver Citori. Browning gets there with a lightweight alloy receiver, but keeps a steel breech face and hinge pin so the parts that take the pounding are still steel. It carries noticeably easier without feeling whippy on the swing.
Yes, it has 3 inch chrome-plated chambers, so it will run everything from light 2 3/4 inch target loads up to 3 inch magnum hunting loads. The chrome plating also resists wear and corrosion through years of heavy use. The Inflex recoil pad helps keep stouter loads comfortable in a gun this light.
It ships with three extended Invector-Plus choke tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. That covers most upland, waterfowl, and clays situations out of the box. Invector-Plus is one of the most widely supported choke systems out there, so aftermarket options from Browning, Briley, Carlson's and others are easy to find if you want to fine-tune your patterns.
It genuinely does both well. The light weight and 28 inch back-bored barrels make it a natural for upland hunting where you carry a lot and shoot a little, while the round-knob Lightning grip gives you a consistent hand position that pays off on sporting clays and skeet. If you want one over/under for the field and weekend clays, this configuration is a smart pick.
