RARE BROWNING CITORI GTS ELITE 20GA O/U SHOTGUN

SERIAL NUMBER: 29695ZY131. BARREL: 30". GAUGE: 20 GA. CHOKE: SKEET (BOTH INSTALLED). CHAMBER: 3". LOP: 14 ?". DAC: 1 ?. DAH: 2 ?". MANUFACTURED: 2012 (Confirmed by the "ZY" factory date code stamped under the top lever). This represents a highly desirable, late-production variant of the prestigious GTS Elite series. This highly collectible Browning Citori GTS (Grand Touring Sporting) Elite is chambered in the incredibly desirable and lightweight 20-gauge. While standard GTS models featured dark blued receivers, this upscale Elite variant showcases an exquisite, bright silver-nitride coin finish. The standout feature of this firearm is its highly specialized game-scene receiver engraving. It uniquely depicts a grouse and a duck morphing seamlessly into a circular clay target as they fly forward. This artistry perfectly symbolizes the hybrid design philosophy of the GTS Elite-engineered to transition flawlessly from tracking fast-moving upland birds to crushing competitive sporting clays. As an Elite high-grade model, it comes beautifully paired with premium, highly figured European walnut stock finished in a rich, protective gloss oil. Mechanically robust with legendary Citori durability, this rare 20-gauge configuration handles like a dream and stands out on any rack or clay course. Perfect for the discriminating shooter or Browning collector alike. It comes with the factory hard case, manual, 5 additional chokes: IMOD, MOD, ICYL, CYL and FULL, choke tool and chamber safety plugs. Collector's Note: While the Citori GTS series initially concluded its primary catalog run in the late 2000s, this elite specimen features the factory "ZY" code, verifying it as a highly exclusive, late-production 2012 run. Combining the rare 20-gauge frame with the upscale Elite "transformation" engraving, this is a scarce boutique configuration rarely seen on the open market. CONDITION: As New. MODERN 26-669
