Description
Most of us don't have room in the safe, or the budget, for a dedicated trap gun, a skeet gun, and a bird gun. That's the whole idea behind the Browning Cynergy CX. This 20 gauge version takes the crossover concept and puts it in a 6 pound 4 ounce package with 28-inch barrels, making it quick enough to carry all day after roosters and steady enough to run a full afternoon of clays. The 60/40 point of impact splits the difference between a flat-shooting field gun and a high-posted target gun, so you can move between disciplines without relearning your hold.
What Makes the Cynergy CX Different
The Cynergy's MonoLock hinge is the big story here. It lets Browning build one of the lowest-profile receivers in the over/under world, which puts your hands closer to the bore line for a more natural point and less perceived muzzle flip. The Reverse Striker ignition delivers fast, consistent hits on primers, and the three-position trigger lets you fine-tune length of pull to your reach. Out back, the Inflex recoil pad soaks up what little a 20 gauge dishes out, so a 200-round clays day won't leave a mark.
Field-Ready Looks, Target-Grade Details
The Grade I walnut stock wears a satin finish with cut checkering, matched to satin blued barrels and a steel receiver in durable silver nitride. Ventilated top and side ribs shed heat during long strings, and the ivory front and mid-bead sights give you a clean, classic sight picture. The 3-inch chambers handle everything from light target loads to stout pheasant medicine.
One 20 Gauge, Every Job
Browning includes three Invector-Plus Midas Grade choke tubes in Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder, so you're covered from close-flushing quail to long crossers at the sporting course. If you've been hunting for one over/under that genuinely pulls double duty, this is the gun that ends the search.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Browning Cynergy CX 20 gauge better suited for hunting or clay targets?
Both, and that's the point. The CX stands for crossover, and its 60/40 point of impact sits between a flat field gun and a high-shooting target gun. At 6 pounds 4 ounces it carries like a bird gun, while the 28-inch barrels and ventilated ribs keep it steady on the clays course.
What chokes come with the Cynergy CX, and can I buy more?
It ships with three Invector-Plus Midas Grade tubes: Full, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. That trio covers most field and target situations right out of the box. The Invector-Plus system is one of the most common on the market, so extended and specialty tubes are easy to find if you want to round out your set.
Can the Cynergy CX 20 gauge handle 3-inch shells?
Yes, it's chambered for 3-inch shells, so it will run everything from light 7/8 ounce target loads to heavier magnum pheasant and waterfowl-style loads. The Inflex recoil pad and low-profile receiver help keep felt recoil comfortable even with the stout stuff.
How is the Cynergy different from Browning's Citori?
The Cynergy uses Browning's MonoLock hinge instead of the Citori's traditional full-width hinge pin, which allows a noticeably lower receiver profile. That puts your hands closer to the bore axis for a more natural point and quicker handling. It also uses a Reverse Striker ignition system rather than hammers, giving fast lock times and crisp trigger pulls.
