I've got one of these and it's my favorite. They don't come up for sale too often, this one has 28" barrels too. No affiliation, just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

As they say, whatever the buyer is willing to pay. FYI, I paid $2k + shipping and FFL fee and would do so again in a heart beat. After three years of field use it developed the dreaded failure to fire on the bottom barrel. A quick trip to Bart @ centennial gun club here in Colorado & $100 later it was fixed and performs flawlessly.
BTW, im still searching for a grade VI 28" in silver to round out my 16ga citori collection. |

I paid $1250 for a used one about five years ago. The bottom barrel fired most but not all the time Ahlmans in Mn fixed it free.
Then I traded it to a friend that still owns it.
It was a 26" and I really wanted a 28".
I have since bought a 16 Ga Citori Heritage 28", with nice wood and sideplates. I am mixed on the side plates, but its a nice gun that I shoot well. |

Good choice on the heritage! I love mine too. The nicer wood weighs a bit more which makes it an excellent clays gun. With the production rumored at just 40 units, I don't shoot it much though. |

I looked at that Grade III but he raised his price and wanted a crazy amount to ship to AK. Wood wasn't that nice. Found this Grade VI silver w/28" barrels and couldn't pass on the wood.

Yeah I really looked at that Grade III but stumbled on this Grade VI. Was planning on getting the III and another gun but this wood made my knees buckle  Also the Grade III had a 1995.00 asking price, then after I asked him what shipping would be, it was too high and then he added another 100.00 to the starting bid on top of that. |

Sounds like it might be a listing designed to appease the wifey more than to sell the gun.  |
