Old Citori Value

[MiniMe]

Hi

I have an old browning Citori I'd like to guestimate the value.

According to serial number it was manufactured in 1985 and it is a 12ga 3" Grade 1 Hunter and it has 7 chokes with it (2 skeet, 2 full, 2 mod and 1 imp cyl) The chokes are of the Invector type (not plus).
Round count is unknown, I shot 150 target rounds and had no failures.
It has dings on the stock and the receiver blueing is losing some color at the bottom (pics).
Below are a few pics to help out and I can take more if needed.

Thanks for the help!

Given the amount of blue wear on the bottom of the reciever and marks in the wood I would suspect $900 - $1000 might be doable? The bonus is it’s new enough to have screw chokes and that will help sell it immensely.

Pretty much bang on. I was thinking 9-1200. Being 3" and screw chokes makes it a modern shotgun. Infinitely better than what is available new at lower price point.

$1000-$1200 with the chokes they are a little chunky & heavy good $ value compared to today's import o/u shotguns

Heavy is good in clay target games. A thoroughly sound gun that will last several lifetimes of casual use.
$1100 to $1200 would be usual in the gun shows that I frequent. I have seen them for less and snatched up in seconds.

I agree with the rest of the guys, $900 to $1200. This is a great starter gun or for someone working within a budget.

Thanks for the info guys.
I agree this is a great shotgun, just a bit too heavy, and it is not worth it letting it go for little money.
I'm going to put it in EE later with better pics

I would not expect to get $1200.
The 7 chokes are a nice bonus but even with that I wouldn’t pay $1000.

If the lockup is tight, the ejectors work properly and there are no cracks in the wood it should sell for $1000. I sold the exact same gun for that price a couple of months ago. Condition wise, it was slightly better but it sold without me even posting it on EE.

$1200 might be a bit high for the condition, but you never know.....

It ejects shells pretty well, got to take care not to hit you in the face.
It locks very tight.

Well, it found a good home. Thanks MiniMe!
