Browning 018142014 CIT WHT 26 Shotgun

The Browning Citori White Lightning is a premium over-under shotgun engineered for serious upland hunters and clay shooters who demand both durability and refined ergonomics. This 28-gauge model features a durable silver nitride receiver coating that resists corrosion and wear far more effectively than traditional blued finishes, making it suitable for extended field use in variable weather conditions.

The 26-inch barrel configuration balances swing weight and velocity for 28-gauge ammunition, delivering the shot patterns hunters expect without excessive muzzle heaviness. The well-rounded pistol grip and forearm provide secure handling through extended shooting sessions, while the barrel selector allows you to choose which barrel fires on the first trigger pull—the second pull fires the remaining barrel. Automatic ejectors clear spent shells instantly, and the full-width tapered locking bolt ensures consistent lockup and minimal chamber tolerance drift over years of use. The ivory bead sight and mid-bead configuration provide reliable sight picture acquisition in variable light conditions typical of field hunting.

This configuration is purpose-built for 28-gauge shooters who value shot quality over payload volume. The 28-gauge delivers reduced recoil compared to 12-gauge or 20-gauge alternatives, making it ideal for extended shooting without fatigue—a critical advantage during competitive clay competitions or full-day upland seasons. The Citori White Lightning's silver nitride finish maintains a professional appearance while eliminating the high-maintenance bluing regimens that field-used shotguns traditionally require.

Browning's Citori platform has proven itself across decades of competitive and field use. The White Lightning variant represents the brand's response to hunters and shooters seeking corrosion-resistant finishes without sacrificing the balanced handling characteristics that made the original Citori a standard in the upland and clay sports.
