Description
The Citori CXT takes Browning's proven crossover formula and tilts it toward the trap house. The high post ventilated rib and Monte Carlo comb put your eye where it needs to be, and the 70/30 point of impact means you can float rising birds above the bead instead of covering them up. Lightweight ported 30 inch barrels keep the swing smooth while taming muzzle jump between shots, so your second target on doubles gets the same steady move as the first.
What Makes the Citori CXT Worth a Hard Look
Underneath the good looks is the same Citori action that has earned a reputation for going the distance. The transverse-mounted, full-width tapered locking bolt seats into a matching recess in the barrel lugs, and the full-width hinge pin spreads wear across the entire receiver. Chrome-plated 3 inch chambers shrug off the volume a serious clays gun sees, and Vector Pro lengthened forcing cones paired with back-bored barrels help keep patterns even. Three extended Midas Grade Invector-Plus choke tubes let you tighten up for handicap yardage or open things up when you wander over to the skeet field.
A Trap Gun That Cleans Up Nicely
The gloss finish Grade II American walnut stock with 18 LPI checkering and a palm swell gives the CXT a look that stands out in the rack, and the polished blued receiver wears a gold CXT logo on the sides. Browning's Inflex recoil pad pulls the comb down and away from your face on recoil, which you will appreciate a few hundred rounds into a shoot day. The Triple Trigger system lets you swap between three trigger shoe positions to dial in your finger placement, and ivory front and mid bead sights make it easy to check your gun mount before calling for the bird. At 8 pounds 6 ounces, it has enough weight to soak up recoil without feeling like a chore to carry between stations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Browning Citori CXT strictly a trap gun?
It leans trap thanks to the 70/30 point of impact, Monte Carlo stock, and high post rib, but Browning built it as a crossover. Plenty of folks run it for skeet and sporting clays too, and the included Invector-Plus choke system lets you adjust patterns for whatever game you are playing that day. If trap is your main discipline and you dabble in the others, this is the sweet spot.
What does the 70/30 POI mean on the Citori CXT?
It means roughly 70 percent of your pattern prints above the point of aim and 30 percent below. That is a big advantage in trap, where targets are almost always rising when you break them. You can hold just under the bird and let the pattern do the work instead of blotting the target out with the barrel.
How does the Triple Trigger system work?
The CXT ships with one trigger shoe that can be set in three different positions to adjust the trigger's reach. This lets you fine tune your finger-on-trigger placement for a more consistent pull. Browning also offers optional shoe profiles if you want to change the feel of the trigger face itself.
Does the Citori CXT handle 3 inch shells?
Yes, it has 3 inch chrome-plated chambers, so it will run both 2 3/4 and 3 inch loads. For clay games you will almost always shoot 2 3/4 inch target loads, but the longer chambers give you flexibility if you take it to the field. The chrome plating also makes cleanup easier and resists wear over high round counts.
