Description
Most over/unders make you pick a lane. The Citori CX was built to skip that decision entirely, with a 60/40 point of impact that lets you float the target just enough for trap, skeet, and sporting clays while still pointing naturally on flushing birds. This Composite version takes that same crossover idea and makes it even more practical, swapping glossy walnut for a black synthetic stock and forearm with rubber overmolding in the grip areas. Rain, mud, temperature swings, none of it matters to this stock, and the vertical grip with palm swell gives you a consistent hand position shot after shot.
Dialing In the Citori CX Composite
Fit is where this gun earns its keep. The adjustable comb lets you raise or lower your cheek weld until the ivory front bead lines up exactly where you want it, which matters a lot when one gun is pulling double duty between the trap line and the bird field. The Three Position Trigger lets you move the trigger shoe along a rail to fine tune length of pull, and the Inflex II recoil pad soaks up recoil while guiding the stock down and away from your face. Between those three adjustments, you can make this 12 gauge fit like it was built for you.
Classic Citori Guts Under the Hood
Underneath the modern stock is the same action that made the Citori a fixture at clubs everywhere: a full width tapered locking bolt, full width hinge pin, inertia trigger, and hammer ejectors that kick empties clear. The 30 inch lightweight barrels get the full Total Barrel Dynamics treatment, meaning back bored bores, Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones, and chrome plated 3 inch chambers that shrug off corrosion and clean up easy. Steel shot friendly barrels mean waterfowl loads are on the table too.
Browning includes three extended Midas Grade Invector-Plus chokes in Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder, so you are covered from close skeet birds to long crossers right out of the box. If you want one over/under that does clays on Saturday and birds on Sunday without babying a wood stock, this is a smart way to get there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Citori CX Composite good for both clay sports and hunting?
That is exactly what it was built for. The CX crossover design uses a 60/40 point of impact that works for trap, skeet, and sporting clays while still pointing naturally on live birds. The composite stock makes it an even better field gun since weather and rough handling will not faze it.
How does the adjustable comb on the Citori CX Composite work?
The comb adjusts for height so you can fine tune where your eye sits over the rib. Raising it helps you float targets on the trap line, and lowering it gives a flatter sight picture for skeet or field work. Combined with the Three Position Trigger, you can get a genuinely personalized fit without a trip to a stock fitter.
Can I shoot steel shot through this shotgun?
Yes. The barrels are rated for steel shot performance, and the chrome plated 3 inch chambers add corrosion resistance for wet weather waterfowl hunts. Just follow standard practice and avoid running steel through the Full choke at heavy constrictions; the Modified and Improved Cylinder tubes handle steel loads well.
What choke tubes come with the Browning Citori CX Composite?
It ships with three extended Midas Grade choke tubes in Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. These use Browning's Invector-Plus system, so there is a huge aftermarket selection if you want to add more constrictions later. The extended design also makes swapping tubes quick without a wrench.
