The Browning Citori Gran Lightning 20 Gauge delivers premium over/under performance with refined craftsmanship that elevates both field and clay shooting experiences. This shotgun combines Browning's legendary reliability with elegant aesthetics through hand-engraved receivers and premium American black walnut stocks.
What Makes This Different
The Gran Lightning features Browning's proven low-profile receiver design with intricate hand engraving and selective gold accent inlays that distinguish it from standard Citori models. The lightning-style grip provides enhanced control and faster target acquisition compared to traditional straight grips. Back-bored barrels with Invector-Plus choke tubes deliver consistent patterns and reduced felt recoil.
