Some shotguns get handed down, and the Citori is one of them. Browning has been building this over/under for half a century, and the White Lightning version dresses up the classic Lightning platform with a silver nitride receiver covered in updated engraving. That bright receiver against the polished blued 28-inch barrels and Grade III/IV gloss oil black walnut makes this one of the best looking guns in the Citori lineup, and the wood grade on these tends to draw a crowd at the counter. The name comes from the old gunmaker's term "in the white," meaning bare polished steel, though here the nitride coating gives you that look with real corrosion protection behind it.
Under the engraving is the same action that made the Citori famous: a transverse-mounted, full-width tapered locking bolt, a full-width hinge pin, and chrome-plated 3-inch chambers built to shrug off tens of thousands of rounds. The single selective trigger lets you pick which barrel fires first, and automatic ejectors kick out spent hulls while lifting unfired shells for easy removal. The barrels get Browning's full Total Barrel Dynamics treatment with back-boring, Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones, and the Invector-Plus choke system. Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder extended tubes come in the box, so you can go from a tight pheasant load to an open skeet setup in about a minute.
The rounded Lightning-style grip and matching forearm are what set this stock apart from a standard pistol grip Citori. Your hand lands in the same spot every mount, which pays off on fast crossers and flushing birds alike. A 14 1/4 inch length of pull, ivory front and mid-bead sights on the vented rib, and an Inflex recoil pad round out the package. At a touch over 8 pounds it swings smooth and soaks up recoil on long clays sessions, yet still carries fine on an all-day upland walk. This is the kind of gun you buy once and shoot for decades.
The big visual difference is the receiver. Instead of the traditional deep blued finish, the White Lightning wears a silver nitride coating that mimics the classic "in the white" polished steel look while still protecting against corrosion. It also features updated engraving artwork and typically carries higher grade Grade III/IV walnut than the standard blued models.
Yes. The barrels are rated for steel shot performance, and the 3-inch chambers handle magnum waterfowl loads without issue. Just follow the standard rule of running steel through the more open chokes, like the included Improved Cylinder or Modified tubes, rather than the Full choke.
It genuinely does both well. The 28-inch back-bored barrels and roughly 8-pound weight give it a smooth, steady swing for sporting clays, trap, and skeet, while the rounded Lightning grip and classic field stock dimensions make it a natural pointer on upland birds and waterfowl. With three choke tubes included, switching between roles takes just a couple of minutes.
Yes on both counts. It uses Browning's single selective trigger, so you can choose which barrel fires first via the barrel selector on the tang. Automatic ejectors throw spent hulls clear when you break the action open and gently lift any unfired shells for easy removal by hand.
