The Browning Citori Gran Lightning is a 12-gauge over/under shotgun built on a reputation for reliability that spans generations of hunters and clay shooters. This particular model comes finished in high-polish blued steel with gloss oil on the walnut, giving it the kind of understated elegance that doesn't demand attention but rewards it every time you shoulder the gun. Whether you're working through a duck season, stepping into competitive sport shooting, or just running clays on a weekend, the Citori Gran Lightning delivers the handling and fit that made Browning's over/under a standard across North America.

What sets the Gran Lightning apart is attention to the details that matter when you're in the field or at the range. The single selective trigger and top-tang barrel selector put you in control without fumbling. Hammer ejectors kick empties clear on their own. The ventilated top rib helps manage recoil and sight picture, especially during longer sessions. Three Midas grade Invector-Plus choke tubes come in the box, so you can dial in your shot pattern for the game or target in front of you. Ivory front and mid-bead sights are straightforward and fast to acquire.

The stock is Grade V/VI walnut shaped in Lightning profile—slimmer through the grip and forend than heavier competition guns, which means less fatigue and faster swing. The Inflex recoil pad absorbs punishment without feeling like dead weight. Drop measurements and length of pull are spec'd for a standard adult frame; the 26-inch barrels give you a nimble platform that still patterns well and doesn't whip around like a shorter gun would in a strong wind.

This is a shotgun that asks you to learn it, not fight it. The Citori line has been refined over decades, and the Gran Lightning carries that pedigree into a package that works as hard as you do.

Frequently Asked Questions

What chokes come with the Browning Citori Gran Lightning?

Three Midas grade Invector-Plus choke tubes with black band identification are included. These are Browning's premium flush-mount chokes and fit standard Invector-Plus compatible Browning shotguns.

Is this 12-gauge suitable for 3-inch shells?

Yes. The Citori Gran Lightning is chambered for 3-inch cartridges, so it will handle both standard 2 3/4-inch loads and 3-inch ammunition.

What is the barrel length, and will it handle duck hunting or clay shooting?

The barrels are 26 inches—a versatile length that works well for both waterfowl and clay target sports. The ventilated rib and Invector-Plus chokes give you flexibility across different hunting and shooting applications.

What does the Inflex recoil pad do?

The Inflex pad is designed to absorb recoil and reduce felt kick, making extended shooting sessions less punishing on your shoulder.
