Description
Plenty of folks want one over/under that can do it all, and that is exactly the thinking behind the Citori CX. Browning built this gun as a true crossover, balanced enough to swing smoothly on trap, skeet, and sporting clays, yet light enough at 8 pounds 7 ounces to carry through a dove field or pheasant cover all afternoon. The 60/40 point of impact splits the difference between a flat-shooting field gun and a high-hitting trap gun, so your sight picture stays consistent whether the target is climbing or crossing.
What Sets the Citori CX Apart
The 30-inch lightweight profile barrel comes back-bored with Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones, which smooths out patterns and takes some sting out of recoil. Chrome-plated 3-inch chambers shrug off corrosion, and the high post floating rib with ivory front and mid beads gives you a clean, easy reference on the target. Three extended Invector-Plus Midas grade choke tubes in Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder cover everything from close skeet birds to long crossers. Under the hood you get the same Citori action that built the reputation, a full-width tapered locking bolt, coil mainsprings for reliable ignition, and hand-fitted components that lock up like a bank vault.
A Citori CX That Fits You
The Grade II American walnut stock wears a gloss finish and cut checkering, and the adjustable comb is the real story here. Raise or lower it until your eye lines up naturally down the rib and the gun starts breaking targets almost on its own. The Triple Trigger system lets you fine tune length of pull and swap trigger shoe profiles for your ideal finger placement, and the Inflex recoil pad keeps long practice sessions comfortable.
Why the CX Earns Its Spot in the Rack
If you want to shoot all three clay games and still hunt in the fall without buying a safe full of purpose-built guns, this is the one gun answer. It has the polished blued receiver with gold CX accents to look the part, and the Citori track record to back it up for decades of hard use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Browning Citori CX good for both hunting and clay targets?
That is exactly what it was designed for. The CX stands for crossover, and its 60/40 point of impact sits between a flat field gun and a high-shooting trap gun, so it works well for trap, skeet, sporting clays, and upland or dove hunting. At 8 pounds 7 ounces it soaks up recoil on the range but is still manageable to carry in the field.
How does the adjustable comb on the Citori CX work?
The comb on the Grade II walnut stock can be raised or lowered to change where your eye sits relative to the rib. That lets you fine tune your point of impact and get a consistent cheek weld without needing custom stock work. It is a big help if standard stock dimensions have never quite fit you.
What choke tubes come with this Citori CX, and can I buy others?
It ships with three extended Invector-Plus Midas grade tubes in Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder, which covers most clay games and field work. The Invector-Plus system is one of the most common on the market, so skeet, light modified, and specialty tubes are easy to find if you want to round out your set.
Can the Citori CX handle 3-inch shells?
Yes, it has 3-inch chrome-plated chambers, so it will run both 2 3/4 and 3-inch 12 gauge loads. The chrome plating adds corrosion resistance, and the Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones help smooth out patterns and reduce felt recoil. Most target work will be with 2 3/4 inch shells, but the 3-inch capability gives you flexibility for heavier field loads.
