I'm not sure I can take it much longer. Three years I've been eyeing a citori o/u. Now that we have finally started to shoot clays, and have pursued grouse, the itch is getting worse. I'm certainly not worthy of such a quality firearm. But how often is a gun purchase based on a rational decision?
But here's the thing. I can't shoulder one because none of the shops have one in stock. I'd have to order it. I can't find one anywhere and we have a lot of shops, and a few are even Browning platinum dealers. The lop is the same as my v3. Drop of the comb and heel are nearly identical. Rib is maybe slightly higher.
There is also a citori csx that has a slightly longer lop. Really wanted to try that. It's rib is basically flush. I guess a shorter lop on the CX is better if I can't shoulder both because I can add a thicker pad if needed.
Is it nuts to order one sight unseen? It's not like this is a $300 shotgun. Btw, goddamn some of these o/u guns are costly. I guess they are not cheap to make.
This is what I'm leaning toward.
I'm 6 feet tall. 170 pounds. I'm probably pretty close in size to who most guns are built for.
