This is a model that holds value well. Because it’s a premium firearm in the line, we use a secure gun shipping and buying system to ensure every transaction is fully insured and legally compliant.

How Browning Citori Grade Affects What We Pay

Browning Citori value is often heavily dependent on the gun’s grade. A Grade II Hunter is often worth about $200 more than a Grade I Hunter, for example.

You can determine the grade through both the appearance of the firearm and its serial number.

In terms of appearance, higher grades are assigned to guns with:

• More elaborate engraving or scrollwork. Plain receivers are often just Grade I.
• Better-quality stocks and finishes. Grade I guns often have Grade I walnut stocks with very little figuring and done in a satin finish (instead of glossy).

In terms of serial numbers, these can tell you the grades of the materials and engraving for your gun’s model. You can check serials on Browning’s official website.

If you’re not sure, ask us to appraise your Citori. Again, we do it for free if you’re a seller.

The Impact of Accessories on Our Citori Appraisals

Some accessories (if in superb condition and by respected manufacturers) can improve the value of a Browning Citori. It’s always dependent on the buyer, though. A lot of them will only want the gun itself and not what they perceive as “extras.”

If you want to sell a Browning Citori with accessories, try contacting us. We often take everything sellers have to offer, from accessories to ammo!

Original Box and Papers

If these are still in superb condition, offer them with the gun. The value of the packaging will be dependent on its condition and type (cardboard boxes are worth less than the case-type ones).

Value: Around $15 to $55 for the matching box and papers.

Choke Tubes

Depending on the buyer’s preferences, more choke tubes aside from those that come standard with the Citori may be appreciated. Browning ones are obviously easiest to sell with the gun.

Value: Around 30% to 50% of the accessory’s original cost.
