Unboxing the STUNNING Browning Citori Field Sporting Grade VII - Ultimate Upland

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

Excellent review. In the mid-1980s I bought a 20 and 12 gauge Citori, each used for $500 . After about 20 years of heavy use the safety does sometimes slide in between over and under and will not engage, so I had a gunsmith pin the safety so the safety is reliable and the under barrel always shoots first. After 38 years of heavy hunting use, the Citori served me well and I use it for waterfowl up here in Alaska, then wintering in Montana I use it every day with my extended upland season

[@UltimateUpland]

You got a good deal on those shooting sticks. Sounds like they've been put to good use.

[@TheElementWild]

Absolutely stunning! Love my citori!

[@UltimateUpland]

Well, we'll put you at the top of the sell list after a put a few good character marks on this stock....

[@dankruger2890]

I have a Citori and it is sure nice shooting.

[@219garry]

I would have simply bought a lesser grade. I used to have a Citori 725 and branny new it was only 2700. Used ones that are like new can be had for 2K

[@UltimateUpland]

Yeah, I normally shy away from brand new guns, because I'm pretty tough on shotguns . I don't mind a few dings on a gun knowing that the character marks I add over the life of that gun will make those seem minor.

[@wasachevyguy]

To the field, no way. To the range, hell yes!!

[@UltimateUpland]

But that's a problem when you use the range as practice for the field.

[@wasachevyguy]

@@UltimateUpland Fair enough. I’d use it for clays exclusively.

[@UltimateUpland]

@@wasachevyguy it's a really nice gun for that. We've got some testing vids in the works right now.

[@dankruger2890]

yap, the first place that gun would go is the range for a 100 trap

[@williamrodriguez3077]

Se donde hay una en 28 solo tiene 50 rondas gradó VII 30 pulgadas

[@UltimateUpland]

No puede encontrar suficientes municiones de 28 aquí para justificar la compra de un arma de campaña en mi opinión

[@ET74019]

Been fighting myself to buy one of these in a 28 gauge, so pretty

[@UltimateUpland]

Really nice gun. Would think it’s not easy to find in 28

[@ET74019]

[@BeatRock253]

I'm a Beretta man myself, but this Citori is absolutely beautiful!

[@UltimateUpland]

I'm open to testing Beretta shotguns. Would be an interesting direct comparison, not sure which would win -- 693 Field III seems a good option if we could locate one on this side of the pond.

[@BeatRock253]

Yeah that would be awesome to find a Beretta equivalent. I don't know exactly which one would fit the bill. I personally own a Beretta 694 Sporting for clays and an A400 Xtreme Plus for waterfowling. Next year I want to find a 20 or 28 gauge O/U for our pheasant release sites here in Western WA. For now I'll be shooting my A400 in 12 at em.

[@redraiderrider3289]

It's absolutely astounding to me that I have to spend $6500 to get a high gloss stock. When you could buy a beautifully finished 870 wingmaster in 1987 for $300. It just doesn't track.....

[@UltimateUpland]

Well, to be fair, this gun offers more than just a high gloss stock. But early Wingmaster had some eye appeal. But comparing a high production pump to a short run custom double is apples and oranges. The Wingmaster you reference is probably worth $650 now. Good investment if you left it NIB. May net a better ROI than a Citori. But few people who paid $300 for a shotgun ever leave it in the box.

[@canondz1559]

Is there a hunting citori 16 gauge?

[@UltimateUpland]

Feather 16, good stuff. www.browning.com/products/firearms/shotguns/citori/limited/citori-feather-superlight-16-gauge.html

[@domj345]

Great review! Question for you.... Did the trigger set come with one that is neutral (not right handed)?

[@UltimateUpland]

It sure does. I've been meaning to show the two additional triggers and swap out. Will try and get a video of that up.

[@domj345]

@@UltimateUpland thanks and looking forward!

[@TheDarlowiak]

Sorry , will not get the balance with that browning as , You should , add $2.000, get Zoli with fixed chokes , that’s CLASS .

[@UltimateUpland]

The Pernice Round Body with 5 flush chokes would be nice to test, but you can't find them over here.

[@codybrown5195]

So is this gonna be the new pig gun?

[@UltimateUpland]

Tyler is shooting it pretty good (new vids coming soon)

[@mackenziemoxley3458]

How do u even drop your shotgun, I've hunted all my life through the nastiest terrain and never once dropped any of my guns, but other than that great vid

[@UltimateUpland]

More throw than drop, happy to teach ya: ultimateupland.com/throwing-the-shotgun/

[@joshtalbot1086]

I hate that notion that you can't use your guns without tearing them up. I would hunt with any of mine and they are all pretty pristine.

[@redraiderrider3289]

Right. I agree. Had a 1984 wingaster that literally looked brand new after being used in the grouse woods every year for the last 15. Treat it like a valuable tool and use it a d it won't get beat up.....that simple.

[@Dadnatron]

Please, get a sock for the mic.

[@UltimateUpland]

Just forgot to bring it to the range this day.

[@rtaveno]

Lost me at wowzers.

[@UltimateUpland]

Wowzers. Who knew a word could be so powerful?

[@TheDarlowiak]

Americans need to learn how to adjust to quality , will take them some time …

[@UltimateUpland]

Yeah, we out here just rolling with the WORST gear.... hahahah

[@boostedbilly7308]

Nice audio put the shitty cell phone away and get a camera GoPro with a mic attached

[@UltimateUpland]

Working on our GoPro sponsorship, will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for watching.

[@danadams4714]

What a lousy review!

[@UltimateUpland]

Maybe because it wasn't a review, it was an unboxing. Thanks for watching, Dan.
