Description
Plenty of folks show up at the counter wanting one over/under that can do it all, and the Citori CX is the gun we point them toward. Browning built the CX as a true crossover, meaning it swings smooth enough for trap and sporting clays but stays lively enough to carry through a pheasant field all afternoon. The 60/40 point of impact splits the difference between a flat-shooting field gun and a high-stacking trap gun, so you get one sight picture that works across every discipline. This version wears a 32 inch lightweight profile barrel with a high post ventilated rib, ivory front bead, and mid bead, giving you a long, steady sighting plane that really shines on longer crossers and second shots at the trap line.
What Makes the Citori CX Tick
Under the polished blued steel receiver with gold CX accents, you get the same proven Citori action that has been breaking clays since the 1970s. The full-width tapered locking bolt and full-length hinge pin are built to soak up decades of heavy use, and the chrome-plated chambers shrug off wear and corrosion. Back-bored barrels and Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones smooth out shot patterns and take some sting out of recoil, while the Inflex 2 pad handles the rest. Browning's Triple Trigger System lets you swap trigger shoe profiles and fine-tune your finger placement, a small detail that makes a real difference over a 100-target day.
Citori CX Fit, Finish, and Chokes
The Grade II American walnut stock carries a gloss finish with clean 18 lines-per-inch cut checkering, and it looks every bit the part of a gun you will own for a long time. Three extended Invector-Plus Midas Grade choke tubes come in the box, Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder, which covers everything from close skeet birds to long handicap targets. At 8 pounds 5 ounces with a 14 1/4 inch length of pull, it settles in nicely for a full day of shooting. If you want one over/under to cover the clays games and still earn its keep in the field, this is a hard gun to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Browning Citori CX good for both clays and hunting?
That is exactly what it was designed for. The CX stands for crossover, and its 60/40 point of impact gives you a sight picture that works for trap, skeet, sporting clays, and upland birds without needing a different gun for each. At around 8 pounds 5 ounces, this 32 inch version leans toward the clays side, but plenty of owners take it afield too.
What choke tubes come with the Citori CX?
It ships with three extended Invector-Plus Midas Grade choke tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder, plus a T-wrench for swapping them. That spread covers close skeet targets out to long trap and sporting presentations. Since it uses the Invector-Plus system, there is a huge range of aftermarket tubes available if you want more options later.
What is the Triple Trigger System on the Citori CX?
It is Browning's adjustable trigger setup that lets you change the trigger shoe profile to dial in your ideal finger-on-trigger position. That kind of custom fit matters more than you might think when you are shooting a couple hundred targets in a day. The trigger itself is a crisp, gold-plated single selective trigger with a barrel selector on the tang safety.
Who makes the Browning Citori CX and where is it built?
The Citori line is built for Browning by Miroku in Japan, and it has been in continuous production since 1973. Miroku's fit and finish is well regarded, with action parts machined to tight tolerances and hand-fitted the traditional way. These guns have a reputation for digesting hundreds of thousands of rounds, which is why used Citoris hold their value so well.
