Three chokes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) are included, which covers the practical range without purchasing extras. The 3" chamber handles a wider selection of 28-gauge loads than a 2.75" chamber would. Grade II American walnut in satin finish is a step up from a plain field-grade stock; the figure is visible without being distracting. The Inflex II recoil pad does its job, though felt recoil in 28 gauge is already mild by shotgun standards. Gold enhancements on the silver nitride receiver are the standard Citori Hunter Grade II styling. ### Target Audience Upland hunters and sub-gauge sport shooters who want a fitted, well-finished 28-gauge over/under. The gauge is genuinely lighter-recoiling than 12 or 20 and well-suited to smaller game birds and clay target sports where a sub-gauge class is offered. ### Usage Scenarios Upland bird hunting (quail, woodcock, grouse) where the 28 gauge's light payload and low recoil suit smaller targets and lighter-built shooters or younger hunters. It works well in sub-gauge clay target events too. Weight is a non-issue in the field; at 6 lbs. 13 oz., fatigue from carrying is essentially eliminated. ## What Reviewers Say *Quoted verbatim from YouTube reviews.

The Grade II walnut and gold-accented receiver look good in hand, and Browning's consistency in fit and finish holds at this tier. Balance and feel come up in most reviews, the 26" barrel and 6 lb. 13 oz. weight make it easy to swing on birds without fatigue. Performance with various 28-gauge loads is well-regarded; owners report clean patterns and smooth action across different ammunition types. The over/under format gives fast second shots without cycling. The price is the main source of hesitation for prospective buyers. Some compare it against 12-gauge or 20-gauge options at lower price points and question the sub-gauge premium. Weight was mentioned a couple of times as a potential concern for long days, though at under 7 pounds this seems more theoretical than practical for most shooters. Overall, owners are satisfied and most recommend it to other hunters and sport shooters looking for a quality 28-gauge option. ## Pricing **8 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | RK Guns | $2149.99 | | Shootingsurplus Com | $2222.57 | | Gritrsports Com | $2239.99 | | Buds Gun Shop | $2359.99 | | Selwayarmory Com | $2359.99 | | Globalordnance Com | $2359.99 | | Centerfiresystems Com | $2359.99 | | Deguns | $2373.99 | ## Similar Products - [Browning Citori White Lightning 28 Gauge Over/Under Shotgun](https://gunsnation.com/p/browning-citori-white-lightning-28-gauge-over-under-shotgun/UCPm9X6P) - [Browning Citori Hunter Deluxe - 16 Gauge Over/Under Shotgun](https://gunsnation.com/p/browning-citori-hunter-deluxe-16-gauge-over-under-shotgun/UCPm9Xro) - [Browning Citori Hunter I 28 Gauge Elegance O/U Shotgun](https://gunsnation.com/p/browning-citori-hunter-i-28-gauge-elegance-o-u-shotgun/UCPm9X71) - [Browning Citori Hunter II 28 GA Over/Under Shotgun](https://gunsnation.com/p/browning-citori-hunter-ii-28-ga-over-under-shotgun/UCPm9X7W) - [Browning Citori Hunter Grade II 20GA 28" Over/Under Shotgun](https://gunsnation.com/p/browning-citori-hunter-grade-ii-20ga-28-over-under-shotgun/UCPm93qT) - [Browning Citori Hunter Deluxe 16G O/U Shotgun - Elegance & Precision](https://gunsnation.com/p/browning-citori-hunter-deluxe-16g-o-u-shotgun-elegance-precision/UCPm9XrX) --- *Data from [GunsNation](https://gunsnation.com)*
