I have one of the first 3.5's that came out. great gun, but too nice to put in the boat. I use it in the blind sometimes, I tell the guy's I'll let them have a chance  and I'll take the handicap

I shoot the duck blind cynergy. Love it. No experience with the citori in the duck blind but they are a great clays and dove gun. I would recommend the cynergy to anyone. And in my opinion, the synthetic's look much better than the wood stock. With the cynergy the comb is very easily adjustable. I shot one box of 3.5s through it just to get some feedback. You will feel it, but recoil was actually not as significant as I had anticipated. Cleaning is a breeze, as with most o/u shotguns. After 1 season of use, I can see no visible external wear to the gun, which is always a plus. For me the balance of the cynergy is a little better than that of the citori, but I must admit I have only shot citori in 20 gauge. I am a fan of the low profile hinge and action. It is a little different at first, but after a few outings, when I go back to my clays gun, it seems to be the abberation. Also, prior to purchasing, I was a bit concerned with the weight of a 3.5 capable 12 gauge, 2 barrel gun. It turns out to only weighs 4 ounces more than my Benelli M2, which is relatively light waterfowl gun in itself. After all of the good, I must point out the only flaw that I have found (to this point). The gun does not come with a factory installed tap for a sling mount. I talked with browning about this and it is simply not an option. I expressed my concern and they told me that considering the circumstances and intended use, I could tap it myself or use a gunsmith and this WOULD NOT VOID my warranty for the stock/forearm. I have not done this yet, but will probably have it completely prior to next season. Best of luck with your decision. You will not be dissapointed. |

i have the cynergy in duck blind camo and have hunted with it for 4 seasons and it is a very good gun. look on Guns America and you can find them every once in a while. |

thanks bullsprig for the feedback. I was not sure if the comb was adjustable on the cynergy, and how the recoil was. One thing that I like about the citori was the wood stock which would easily accept limbsaver recoild pads and a mercury tube... not sure that stock bending would be a good option for a dipped gun. do you think that adjusting the drop would make a difference in the feel of a low profile as compared to other guns? |

I have a Citori and the fit and finish on it is outstanding. I'd take a long look at they Cynergy too if I were you. |

I can only speak for a hunting buddy of mine, can't remember which browning o/u he has, I beleive it's a citori. It's a very sweet shooting gun, though he feels seriously impaired with only 2 shots. Just something to keep in mind. Part of me wants one too.

I have an O/U but hunt with an Xtrema 2. O/U's are very nice fancy shotguns but in my opinion they aren't ideal in a duck blind because of how clumsy they are to load in a confined area. Now don't get me wrong, I love taking my Browning to the clay fields and shoot extremely accurately with it. I've also taken it with me on a dove hunt but still prefer a semi auto for hunting. To me, recoil control plays a big part in how accurately I can place my follow up shots and how many ducks I can drop in a flock. With the 3" mags going through an O/U the muzzle flip will be a lot more so it might slow you down a bit. Long story short, take a look at a Berettta Urika 2 or Xtrema 2 since they'll be in the same price range and are exclusively designed for hunting. The SBE 2 is nice also but kicks a lot more than mine with the Kick Off system. |

No, they seem to just clearance them out. They even have to have the manager go over all the paperwork, he looked up the price, said he couldn't take anymore off,So I said throw in a couple boxes of shells, he said ok.

I carry my O/U whenever I can. It's fun to shoot ducks with. I never shoot fewer birds because I only have 2 shots. I actually take better shots when I know I only have 2 tries. I hunt out of a layout blind often... That's the only time it's awkward. Sometimes I have to reload with the doors closed, can't do that with a O/U. |

I carry an older 30" 12ga. 3.5" Citori "Satin Hunter" as a backup gun on traveling hunts. I shoot it better than any of my autos, but the recoil with 3.5" loads can be stout, so it remains a backup. We hunt primarily from stationary blinds, so breaking it open to reload can be a problem. You either have to back up into the blind, or hang over the front in order to get the o/u broken open and drop the shells in. For ducks over the decoys, I have had few occasions to look for the third shot. On geese, I do miss the follow-up/mop-up third shot. |
