    I just purchase a new Citori CX. I went to the range and had a conversation with someone there and he mentioned that if you use the gun allot it will last about 2 years.
    I'm a little skeptical of this claim. How long can I expect my new over and under to last?

    Thanks in advance.

    Unless you are a serious competitor, most likely the gun will last you the rest of your life.

    As long as you take good care of it...it will last a lifetime.

    Exactly!
    The question is not "how long will it last?", but rather "how long do you want it to last?"

    Just keep the hinge / pivot clean and lubed; don't let any metal galling start.
    Take it down every couple hundred rounds and clean off / re-lube the pivot and engagement areas per owners manual.
    If you hear or feel any grit / grinding in the action strip it down and clean / lube immediately.
    Don't neglect the choke tubes / bbl threads.

    No different than any other O/U; built to last.
