Wood-to-metal fit is paramount on the Citori and with tight, consistent
junctions it doesn't disappoint. Action components are machined to exacting
tolerances, heat-treated for greater strength and fitted using the
traditional lampblack-and-file method to ensure the precise fit of critical
components prior to being assembled to the action. It is this extreme level
of craftsmanship that leads to the dependable function, impeccable looks,
championship performance and respect from both Citori owners and the
competition alike. Challenge you to take any Citori from the rack and
you'll see the same high level of fit and finish on every gun. Open and
close the action and throw it to your shoulder. Sight down the barrels.

Caliber Dictionary

The 410 Gauge (410 Bore) shotgun cartridge is the only shotshell named by caliber (diameter) rather than the old "gauge" designation of round balls to the pound. Introduced in the U.S. in the early 1900s the 410 Gauge is the smallest shotshell in common use, offered in 2.5-inch loads with a 1/2-ounce payload and 3-inch loads with 3/4-ounce payloads. Most modern shotguns are chambered for 3-inch shells, but the longer shells cannot be used in guns with 2.5-inch chambers. 410 Gauge is a standard event in formal American Skeet competition. Because of its light recoil the 410 Gauge is often chosen as a "starter" shotgun for youngsters, but it is not an ideal choice; the light payload sharply limits range, effectiveness, and hitting ability, frustrating the efforts of generations of youngsters--and 410 slug loads are very marginal for deer. In the right hands at close range the 410 gauge is effective on upland game, but at its best it is a choice for experienced expert shotgunners. — Craig Boddington
