Description
CX stands for crossover, and that is exactly how Browning built this gun. Instead of buying a dedicated trap gun, a skeet gun, and a sporting clays gun, the Citori CX splits the difference with a 60/40 point of impact that works across all three disciplines. The 32 inch lightweight profile barrels give you the long sighting plane and smooth swing serious clay busters want, while the high post vented rib and ivory front and mid beads keep your eye tracking naturally down the barrel.
Fit the Citori CX to Your Face, Not the Other Way Around
The big upgrade on this model is the adjustable comb sitting on top of a gloss finished Grade II American walnut stock. Dial in your comb height, lock it down, and the gun mounts the same way every single time, which matters a lot more than most people realize when scores start counting. A 14 1/4 inch length of pull and Browning's Inflex recoil pad round out the fit, and that pad plus the gun's 8 lb 9 oz heft soaks up recoil nicely over long practice sessions. The Triple Trigger System lets you swap between three trigger shoe profiles to fine tune your finger position, another small detail that adds up over a few hundred targets.
Built Like a Citori Should Be
Underneath the polished blued steel and gold CX logo is the same action that made the Citori a fixture at clubs everywhere. The full width tapered locking bolt and full length hinge pin are famous for shrugging off decades of heavy use, and the chrome plated 3 inch chambers resist wear and corrosion from high round counts. Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones smooth out the shot column for better patterns and softer felt recoil, and the barrels come threaded for Invector-Plus chokes with three Midas grade extended tubes included: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. That covers you from close skeet birds to long crossers at the sporting course, and the 3 inch chambers mean it can pull double duty in the dove or duck field when the season rolls around.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Citori CX different from a dedicated trap or skeet gun?
CX stands for crossover, and the gun is regulated for a 60/40 point of impact, which is a middle ground between the flat pattern of a skeet gun and the high pattern of a trap gun. That means it works well for trap, skeet, and sporting clays without needing a separate gun for each. It can also handle field duty thanks to the 3 inch chambers.
How does the adjustable comb on the Citori CX work?
The comb piece raises and lowers on posts in the stock, so you can adjust cheek weld height until your eye lines up perfectly down the rib. Once set, you lock it in place and get a consistent mount every time. It is a huge help for taller shooters or anyone who tends to shoot high or low with a fixed stock.
Can the Browning Citori CX handle steel shot for waterfowl?
Yes, the barrels are back-bored with chrome plated 3 inch chambers, and the included Invector-Plus choke system is rated for steel shot. Just follow the standard guidance of running steel through the more open chokes like Improved Cylinder or Modified rather than the Full tube. That flexibility is a big part of the crossover concept.
Is the 32 inch barrel a good choice, or should I go shorter?
The 32 inch barrels give a longer sighting plane and a smoother, more deliberate swing, which most dedicated clay target competitors prefer. If the gun will spend more time walking fields than sitting at a club, a 30 inch version handles a bit quicker. For mostly clays with occasional hunting, the 32 inch length is the popular pick.
