Saskbooknut, that's usually what I find on the SxS as well. Canadian price is very close to the US price, just using our funny money.

A mid 2000 citori lightning twenty that has invector plus ckokes and steel capable with parts easily found list from $1,500 to $1,700 around our parts cb. Unless its much lighter, I think it would be a niche market for someone that wants a belgian made browning twenty....?

A Superposed 20 gauge and a Citori 20 gauge are only alike in that they have the lettering Browning on them.
Most Citori 20 gauges are overweight, a Superlight being the exception. And discounting the Lightning Feather with Aluminum receiver.
Some of us think of the Superposed 20 gauge as the ideal upland gun. The marketplace seems to confirm that opinion.

Thanks for the advice and comments.
My Citori is a 16 gauge White Lightning with 26 barrels bought new in early 2005 in Portage La Prairie. I shoot it quite well. Yet it never feels right in my hands. And its not light. 6 pounds 11 oz. For sure less than 300 rounds through it.
I have tried to avoid 20 gauges but this Superposed is swaying me. Fits perfectly and is in near perfect condition. And its configured and choked exactly as I would wish. My only complaint is its not a 16. But there arent any of those.

"Feels right" is the greatest accolade in upland guns.

Last year I bought a 1961 28" Belgian made skeet twenty for $700 cdn. Well used mind you, which is how I like them, as it proves that it shoots well. Shot a grouse on the wing with it first time out. Yes it is a nice upland twenty.
You are right sask that the older gun is of no doubt higher quality, etc. Not many people appreciate a 58 year old gun... except for guys like us... me thinks.

Solid rib and field chokes (as opposed to Sk/Sk) add a slight premium; however, 28 has a premium over 26.5. A few years ago, supers were high priced. It wasnt uncommon to see a ANIB grade I 20 ga asking price of close to $4k. Same gun now quite a bit less. With their Demi-bloc barrels (which equates to chopperlump in the SxS world), I think Browning superposed are one of the best deals out there.
Socialism is almost the worst.

They're great guns. When a New Brunswick road builder died 50 years ago, his wife gave me a call to come to their house. She said her husband wanted me to have first pick of his guns, covering two walls behind glass, all shotguns. Diana and Midas were common but the little 16 Parker hammer with magic handling left under my arm. I handle it more tenderly each time I take it hunting; it will be last to go.
