RandyWakemanWhat is it you are looking for, exactly?

MasterBlasterI had never seen one with a case hardened receiver and the oil finish. Was wanting to find out if it were a standard model or custom shop gun.Only ones I can find on the Browning web site are custom shop guns.
Thanks

RandyWakemanI'm not sure what model of Citori you are referring to (325 / 425 / 525 / Lightning / XT / XS / Feather / Satin Hunter) but I'm not familiar with any current case-colored models.

MasterBlasterI found one on gun broker it was made in 2004 and only 800 of them were made had to order them at the shot show. So they said.

yetiMaster, that info about the limited run is correct...the exact number in the run I don't know but 800 sounds about right.

MartyBrowning made a few of these a few years back. I sold a couple that Zander's had on special when they were discontinued. They were very nice, and a good deal at the time. THe case coloring job was not as nice as some i've seen, but adequate. At the time, they were priced pretty low, maybe 11-1200 dollars.
