Browning Liege O/U

[Researcher]

The only Browning catalog I have that covers the Leige is a 1973. The Leige was at a price point about half way between the Superposed and the Citori.

Thanks for the catalog info Dave, the couple that I was considering are described as NIB. I have two Superposed 12 and two Citoris a 12 Hunter model and a 16 gauge. I’ll look in more detail at the catalog info tomorrow on my computer.
Thanks again.

As much as it goes against my grain to say this , a Browning Citori is a tough as nails utilitarian grade skeet/trap gun . I much prefer a Superposed but I doubt if a Superposed will take the beating that the Jap guns will . I’ve not owned a Citori in probably twenty years but I’ve got a hankering to get another Citori in a 16 gauge , preferably one of the first run of Lightening 16’s with 26 or 28 inch barrels . As to the Liege I’ve never had one in my hands but I remmember when they first hit the market . And at that time I wanted a B-SS 20 and priced at $257.99 at Clark Brothers with cash they could be had for about $232 !!!! But other than the B-SS Sidelock 12 I had for awhile I’ve never owned any other B-SS . Sorry if I got off the original subject .

I agree with you Craig on the Citori , especially the 16, that’s the version I have one of the first runs. I’m on the look out for another one of those and a BSS with the selective trigger. I’m interested in finding something NIB which is why I inquired about the Liege. Here’s a photo of my grandson with the Citori 16 and his first Rooster.

My first Citori was a four barrel skeet set . Only others I’ve owned were a pair of 16’s first a first run 28” Lightning and a 24” Upland Special . Wish I had both the 16’s back
