Guys I'm a mechanic and in reality my shotguns are really a tool much like a torque wrench, impact gun or drive ratchet i own. Don't abuse them and it will last pretty much a lifetime or wear out from use.
My Citoris I've bought new over the years. Field early '80's, Special Trap mid. '90's, Gran Prix Sporter '05 ish when they were discontinued, XT Trap '10? Whatever. I would say I've kept them cherry while using them as a tool.
A Browning for the most will keep a a certain value, they make a quality firearm. No dis to a Wally World or Rossi it's not at that level.
This is my point. Browning comes along and brings out this CrossOver. A lot cheaper than past previous Citoir versions. I believe this is a slap in the face to Browning owners. Heck I never bought a Browning thinking it was going to increase in value there are millions of them. I just feel their worth is decreased due to the CrossOver. It would be one thing to just draw a line in the sand and say they are done with them. They maybe should of put out a nicer than average version than pulled the plug. But to go cheaper. That's a slap. I just believe it's an added devaluation of something that wasn't really valued that high. I hope this bit is a ramp makes sense.
