Here is my new to me Citori 16, bought yesterday. The particulars are: It is a 28" White Lightning, was produced in 2017 as part of a special run of these guns for 2018 shot show. Weighs 6 lbs. 14 oz. It is in new condition, and fits me so well - what great guns these are! I found it somewhat by accident at the local Scheels store - had just been traded in that day. I'm not sure it has even been fired - if it has surely not much....
I thank folks on this forum for guidance and suggestions last month when I started my search. I look forward to shooting it in the next couple of weeks before pheasant season ends here in Colorado.

Very nice!! But curious, the resolution is a bit fuzzy on my screen and judging by your moniker...I think I only see one trigger?!?
Fun stuff, enjoy.... |

Ha - good one! You are correct the gun seems to be missing a trigger doesn’t it? |

Thanks everyone for your great comments!
I forgot to mention - the gun just came with 2 choke tubes (F, M). I’m going to need at least a couple more (gun uses standard Invector). Anyone have suggestions for where I can buy Invector or compatible tubes?
Many thanks,
Doug/double trigger |

invector chokes are easy to find on ebay or gb. my experience is, they tend to be tighter than what they are marked. |
