Just saw this. Already sold it looks like but a unique piece to say the least. I've not owned a high grade Belgian superposed, have always liked the looks of the pointer grade best , but this ain't bad Smile Beautiful wood too. Wonder what the engraving would set a man back?

$4600, sales price, wouldn't cover the cost of gun acquisition for a Citori and engraving. Whoever had the work done took a bath on the sale. Wouldn't surprise me if the gun came out of an estate sale at some point. Gil

The owner is Ron Reimer, former master engraver for Browning Custom Shop. I bought the other Citori Gran Lightning 16 with D5G engraving, Browning grade V/VI satin finish American Black Walnut and the 28 inch barrels.

My check is in the mail and I can't wait to get it in my hands.

I stand corrected. Gun is either out of an estate or being sold by the guy who engraved it. Wink Gil

Picked it up yesterday. It is better than I could have ever imagined. Spectacular actually.

I can't wait to break it in at 5 stand then take it out for late season grouse after deer season.

What a great Christmas present.
