sportsman, i am in a similar situation as i have inherited my fathers camo citori with 3.5 in chambers and 26'' barrel. i have not tested it yet to check poa\poi of barrels. it is a bit heavier tha some of my other turkey rigs but i love the way it feels and shoulders. this is my first invector plus gun and ordered some chokes earlier. gonna stick with 3'' shells. if anyone runs a citori some hints,tips, shell and choke combo info. would be great. i always liked the 686s as well they are a fine shooting iron.
