The Browning Citori Feather Lightning 20 GA with a 26-inch barrel is a trim over/under built around the same transverse-mounted full-width tapered locking bolt found throughout the Citori line. It engages a recess in the rear barrel lugs for consistent lock-up. At 5.1 lbs. with a brown finish, the 26-inch configuration swings quickly, which suits hunters who work dense cover or prefer a shorter overall length.

Features 

Chrome-plated chambers handle the wear from repeated firing. The Triple Trigger System selects which barrel fires first. Invector-Plus Extended chokes let the shooter dial in patterns for different ranges and game. The aluminum receiver has a silver nitride finish. The shotgun may need a short break-in period before reaching its most consistent function -- a common note among first-time owners.

The Feather Lightning's 26-inch barrel version gets the same core praise as the longer model: light weight, quality woodwork and metalwork, and smooth cycling across a variety of loads. Hunters appreciate how easy it is to carry through brush without fatigue, and the balance gets favorable comments in both hunting and clay-shooting contexts.

Constructive feedback centers on three areas: the price sits at the upper end for a 20-gauge and draws some hesitation; recoil is more noticeable than on heavier guns, particularly with hotter loads; and some new owners report the action needs a break-in period before feeding and extracting consistently. None of these are dealbreakers for most buyers -- the overall reception is positive.
