Not be beating a dead horse or anything but I was at Cabela's in Rogers,mn a couple of days ago and asked about the "new" run of Citori 16ga. the salesmen looked at me like I was an idiot and then grabbed the catalog. I explained to him about the rumor that they were gong to make another run of them for bill Hicks and he said if that was the case they could get them. I guess the question I have is are they really going to get built or not. Does anyone have anything more substantial to go on?

I called Browning about this very subject yesterday. I was informed that they are being produced for Bill Hicks & Co. I called Bill Hicks & Co. today and was informed that they do have the exclusive on the 16ga models being produced this year. They are expected to be available in the October/November time frame. Any FFL can order from Bill Hicks & Co. Just tell your FFL to call them at 800/223-0702

A strong dollar versus a weak yen would equate to the situation that he describes. *SIGH* Well the man is a shotgun importer not an economist, but I had sorta hoped he would understand it a little better than that.)

So it sounds like the first guns of the new run are not expected until June or July at the absolute earliest.

Hope that helps,

Geez Brad, what part of his BS are you having trouble with? Laughing

Well, I'd have to guess what you just said is the long version of:
~Hanus is full of what makes grass green!~ Laughing

Now that is a prime example of Voo Doo economics. Laughing

As for comparing Brownings to Rizzinis, apples to lemons might be closer to the mark from what I've seen lately. Rolling Eyes

Anyway, I think what old Crazy Bill is shooting for is to stampede the more froggy among us to fork over a large down payment on guns he's not even got yet. That would also explain the 5 month discrepancy between his delivery date in June to Bill Hicks's delivery date in Nov. which will be too late for this year's hunting season for most of us.

Next trick he'll probably pull will be to don a Santa cap and starty hawking Christmas guns. Ho! HO! Horse Hockies! Cool

I'm glad to see that Bill Hanus has not changed! Laughing

Well said, Brad. Well said.

There is nothing like a quick explanation from someone who knows just a enough about accounting, finance or economics to be dangerous. I wouldn't let Hanus work on my taxes either.

Brad I'm kinda retarded, so the only real thing I got out of it was the analogy where you compared the pheasent killin laser beam Merkel, to the hyundi like Browning and thier insentric values. I think, and I maybe parphrasing but what I thought you said was chocolate covered strawberrys(the merkel) are worth more than dried out juju beans(Brownings) , well all I can say is Duuuuuuuuh, don't take a global economist to figure that one out.

Thudddddddddddddd

Well now Thudddd, I'd go easy there on the Brownings. Just remember your words when the shooting is done. Could be the indian and not the arrow is what does the shooting. Could be that one of those ole Citori junkers might make that "chocolate covered strawberry" kinda look more like a "dukie covered puckerberry" once the smoke clears and the clays are all on the ground, some in pieces and some not. Wink

16gg(see I din't do the other thing) You got a good recepit for clays?? we be talking about pheasent killin laser beams , not clay killin laser beams......

I appreciate that Thudddd. But just remember, feathers or not, if it flies, it dies. Its still the Indian and not the arrow cause youse gotta hit 'em to git 'em. Those 'ole sissytoris hits 'em pretty often and pretty hard in the hands of the right Indian. Wink

16gg, just getting back from a 4 martini, fri lunch, so if the tone in my reply is less then cordial, please xcuse it. delete delete delet delet.

Nasty pm on it's way. LOL

Yup. Been there, done that. Its probably the reason I don't have much to spare, if any, in the spare brain cell department. So it was good bye booze or hello dain bramage! A lot of folks figure I was about a day late and a dollar short anyway. Laughing

You take it easy there pard. If you got to, latch on to something solid and don't fall off the face of the planet Wink

I did it once. I was gone for a week or more. Rolling Eyes

In fact, I even once reached the ultimate state of imbibedness, I was invisible. Shocked

Not getten froggy or nothin but I was at a local dealer this sfternoon and drug his chain about Browning making a run for Bill Hicks so he picked up the phone . And the answer he got was YES Browning is making a run of 16ga citori's in several deifferent models for Hicks. No delivery date but they will take your money Duh! The price they gave me on the two models I questioned them about are $1700 for a 525 Field and $1450 for a White Lighting both 28" barrels. This is the most concrete info I've found so far....maybe there is a god
