Browning Citori Lightning Feather Grade I 16 Ga Over/Under – 28" Vent-Rib Barrels, Silver-Nitride Receiver, Invector Choke, 2010 Limited Run
This 2010 Browning Citori Lightning Feather Grade I combines classic Lightning styling with a lightweight alloy receiver that keeps the gun around 6 lb 2 oz—remarkably light for a 16-gauge over/under. A silver-nitride receiver with machine-cut floral scroll engraving, deep-blued 28-inch Special Steel barrels, and a gloss-finished walnut stock give it standout visual appeal, while practical upgrades such as an aftermarket Limbsaver recoil pad and a green fiber-optic front bead enhance shootability. Limited production of the 16-gauge Lightning Feather makes this example especially desirable for shooters and collectors who appreciate the balance and handling unique to the mid-bore gauge.

Limited-run production of the 16-gauge Lightning Feather gives this gun an immediate edge in rarity. Browning paired a silver-nitride finished aluminum alloy receiver with 28-inch Special Steel barrels to achieve lively swing dynamics without sacrificing durability.
The vent-rib barrels are threaded for Browning Standard Invector tubes, offering wide compatibility for additional constrictions. Dual ejectors ensure fast, positive extraction, and the single-selective mechanical trigger lets the shooter choose the firing order via the top-tang safety/selector.
Gloss walnut furniture features Lightning-style cut checkering, a rounded pistol grip, and a slim Schnabel-influenced forend for secure handling. An aftermarket Limbsaver pad stretches the length of pull to 15.0 inches while softening felt recoil.
Shooters will appreciate the aftermarket green fiber-optic front bead perched on the vent rib, providing an immediate sight reference in varied light. Gold-plated trigger, scroll engraving, and contrasting finishes complete a package that balances performance and presentation.
