I figure this should help speed up the off season. So for now I have 15 boxes of factory ammo to burn through & then I can start working on a load that performs well. Might use it for pheasant or might go to 1 1/8 oz not sure. Providing it patterns for me should work nicely on Doves (aka gray rockets) and quail. Found a 1oz load that I am going to try with Longshot that is 13 psi. Getting shells is limited but I bought 15 boxes & plan to start reloading after that. As for my son hopefully he will grow a little over the summer. But an new recoil pad will get mine where it needs to be. My sons is about 1/2 long for him & mine is about a 1/2 short for me. I couldn't afford to buy 2 brownings but the 2 Verona $649 each worked into my budget. Since I lost both mine & my 14 yo sons primary hunting guns I needed 2. I bought a pair of Verona 16ga, from CDNN. Shotgun Review: Browning Citori White Lightning. After losing 3 shotguns to a break in in Feb of this year. This new White Lightning has a noticeably slimmer fore-end than earlier iterations, and everyone on the OL Gun Test team agreed it improved the shotguns handling. Well I ended up buying a pair of 16 ealrier this month. I think I need another- maybe this time a Featherweight with the straight grip, or the Lightning Feather- its light, but should still swing well with 28" barrels! Now I find out Browning will be making another limited run of Citori 16's again this year in a number of configurations. Boy was he surprised on his latest birthday when a new in the box Citori 16 came out of my closet with a large ribbon on it. I hate to say it, but he shot it better than I. Last fall I talked him into trading guns for a day while pheasant hunting. Since he was about 13 he thought he was too manly to shoot anything "less" than a 12. My own son (who is now 20 years old) has teased me about my 16.

When I found out Browning was going to discontinue the 16 Citori, I bought another just to put away in the closet.Įverything seems to come full circle. Much easier to carry than the 12, but seemed to kill just as well. This gun was exactly what I had been looking for. When Browning first made the Citori 16, I bought a Lightning with 28" barrels. The 3" shells didn't pattern well but the lighter loads just didn't seem to kill pheasants well at longer ranges. Good for those close quick shots, but I just didn't get the same follow through on crossing targets. Good little gun- light to carry and comes up quick. When I was ready to buy my first double, I wanted someting light and fast, just like they bragged about in the magazines. Why would any real hunter not shoot a 12? My 1100 was a real bird killer. Of course, I just thought he was a dinosuar. ammo was so hard to find that he got rid of his and bought a 12. I grew up listening to my dad lament the fact that 16 ga. Get the Browning 16- you won't regret it.
