looking for a couple browning superposed. Have sold my Citoris for upland hunting and looking to switch back to superposed for my son and I. Will entertain all models an barrel lengths. Please message details. Thanks in advance
 
Have you checked on Gunbroker or Guns International?
 
It would be helpful to any prospective sellers for the buyer to give an indication of what prices he has in mind for the various grades.
 
I've owned a number of Supers in both 12 and 20. I recommend that you opt for an older gun from the 50s or early 60s at least. In the Super 20 especially the early 2-3/4" chambered guns were better made and had lighter barrels which, iMO made then nicer to mount and handle.

After a bunch of trading I'm down to a 1952 20 gauge (28" solid rib bbl) and a 1937 12 gauge (28" solid rib).

Older Superposed guns are a great value in 12 or 20 gauge, considering quality/$$.
 
Blasphemy alert - Citori guns are better built...

If you're really interested in the elegant side of the spectrum then a Superposed is perfect. If you're more interested in killing stuff across the globe, then I'd say a Citori especially ones built in the mid 1980's through to 1990's are the most rugged hunting shotgun ever built.

I think I've posed this before but this is the inside of my 34 year old duck hunting Citori. I hunt waterfowl 45+ days a year with this gun since 1987 without a single problem other than having to replace the latch spring once. I was almost afraid to open it up because as the years progressed I had hunted more and more often in salt marshes and offshore...anyway this is what I found...

I q-tipped on some lubricant and closed 'er back up. I figure I'll check it again in 2043 or so...

Citoris are ok - I've owned a number of them. They all went down the road.

My 1937 Super 12 has killed a boxcar full of ducks on fresh and salt water. I've only owned it since 1971 and have never taken it apart. I wash off the salt spray and mud, use a hair dryer to dry it, put a little oil on it and it's good to go again. I did retire it from waterfowling a few years ago, but it's still worked on targets and feral pigeons.
 
the citori,s are built for the long haul, i have several that have fired thousands and thousands of shells in the clay games, my trap one has eaten over 40,000 rounds of reloads and factory with no repairs at all, only a good cleaning once a year.

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew

Saw your post. Nice. Denver too. Genesee area (just off 70) if ever up this way. Alternatively, do you have a membership at GGC? Whatever, you'll have a wonderful time in Africa. Enjoy.
