theres nothing wrong with citori's they well made gun and will perform flawlessly. some people get the idea that there junk because browning firearms are made in japan. The only thing wrong wtih browning is that if you order a firearm they may not show up for a year or so, because they make one or so large shipment. a browing belgium are hard to come across because people dont want to get rid of them. I would save your money and get a browning. the rugers are nice and they have a freefloating cooling rib, but there known to be pinchers. if you buy a used over a under look at the action release, when the action is closed it should be off set to the right but if its in the center the gun has been used lots, and is beginning to wear. i hope that this helped.
