    I was in a well known sporting store years back, an independent, and that's why I won't mention it's name buying a couple of things. I happened to walk past the gun counter and spotted a beautiful 391. It was a teknys, 30 inch barrel, mint. I asked the guy behind the counter where he got it, he told me an estate sale. It has everything, I don't think the gun had been shot before. I looked at the tag, 1050. I kinda smirked, all happy like. The guy asked me what I wanted with it, I told him as another bird gun. I mention all of this because he reached back and handed me a SBEII camo. He said that's what I needed. I held back my smart comments, even though it was tough for me, didn't act like an ass or anything.. Even though he looked like a dipshit, like every other dipshit neck that you run into behind a gun counter. I had enough cash, had my single credit card I carry even though I don't use it.. I still paused. My son had an appointment at MUSC for eye surgery in three days. I'm fidgity, didn't want to waste money when I knew I was getting ready to come a bunch out of pocket. I walked away, and told him it was a pretty gun, got in my truck and headed home. I barely got out of the parking lot, and stopped. I called him back, and told him that I was riding back to buy that gun. I told me someone walked up right behind me and bought it. I felt like I'd been lied to, it was before lunch so I really wasn't expecting that. No one was in there. I went back, and he told me a guy came up behind me and put it on hold. I told him fine, if he doesn't hear from him, to please call me.

    A week went by, I called back. I told a voice I didn't recognize about the gun and how I was checking in on it. He told me his buddy behind the counter I talked to put it on gunbroker for 1600 if I wanted it. I hung up the phone. That extra money didn't bother me that much, it was the point of the whole damn thing. I won't walk back in there.

    Not a big Browning fan. Plus can't shorten the LOP on account of that fancy butt pad, so it's out for me.

    Of the top three guns I'll never own because they suck and I hate them, that piece of garbage is on the top of the list.

    I don't particularly like their looks but I can't think of any other O/U that I'd treat like a real duck gun and I do prefer a camo gun for duck hunting.

    EVERYTHING benelli makes and the Browning citori, including superposed - I consider them the same gun.

    Amen on the benelli comment. Don't own anything with a buckmark, although I do shoot clays with one of those late 70's Charles Daly/Miroku copies of a Japanese Citori, so that's very close to being a lie. When I bought it 10 years ago it was hard to beat for $500 with Briley thin wall chokes already installed.

    Doing research now before I drop some serious coin on a good o/u with 32" barrels.
