The Browning Citori line has long been a benchmark for over/under shotguns where fit, finish and field reliability matter. For shooters who demand championship-level craftsmanship in a lightweight package, the Feather Lightning delivers a precise balance of tradition and modern engineering.

Browning Citori Feather Lightning

Overview

As an over/under in the Browning family, the Citori Feather Lightning combines time-tested locking geometry with weight-saving materials. The sliver nitride aluminum engraved receiver gives the shotgun a distinctive look while reducing carry weight for long upland days. At $2,867.99, this model sits squarely in the premium segment where performance and longevity justify the investment. Shop this product and view product details and pricing on our store page.

Key Features and Tactical Advantages

Locking System and Durability

The Citori uses a transverse-mounted, full-width tapered locking bolt that engages a matching recess in the rear barrel lugs for robust lock-up. The hinge pin extends through the receiver for maximum strength—features that translate to consistent shot-to-shot alignment and confidence under repeated use.

Chambers, Ejection and Handling

Chrome-plated chambers resist the toll that thousands of shells can impose on lesser guns. Automatic ejectors throw spent hulls when the breech is opened and elevate live shells for quick removal. These systems speed reloads and make range work more efficient.

Barrel and Trigger Systems

The Feather Lightning integrates Invector-Plus extended chokes with back-bore technology to optimize shot patterns and reduce felt recoil. While many Citori options offer a convenient barrel selector for a single-trigger setup, this Feather Lightning features a Triple Trigger system—ideal for shooters who prefer direct mechanical selection of each barrel. That triple trigger arrangement gives precise, tactile control over barrel choice without menu-style selectors.

Fit, Applications and Buying Notes

Designed for upland hunting and clay competition, the Feather Lightning’s lightweight build and engraved receiver make it equally at home in the field or on the line. Browning’s reputation for durable over/under designs and the availability of multiple model variations add resale and service value.
