Description
Most of us don't have the safe space or the budget for a dedicated trap gun, a skeet gun, and a field gun. Browning built the Cynergy CX for exactly that reality. It's a crossover over under with a 60/40 point of impact, which means it shoots slightly high like a target gun but stays flat enough to be right at home on flushing roosters. This 20 gauge version pairs 30 inch satin blued barrels with 3 inch chambers, giving you a long sighting plane for clays and enough versatility to handle just about any upland load you feed it.
What Makes the Cynergy CX Different
The heart of this gun is Browning's MonoLock Hinge, which lets the receiver sit noticeably lower than a traditional trunnion design. A lower profile puts your hands closer to the bore line, and that translates to a gun that points more naturally and swings with less effort. At around 6 pounds 6 ounces, this 20 gauge build is quick to the shoulder without feeling whippy, and the ventilated top and side ribs help shed heat during long practice sessions. Ivory front and mid-bead sights give you a clean, classic sight picture, and the three-position trigger lets you fine tune length of pull to your grip.
Cynergy CX 20 Gauge Fit and Finish
Browning dressed this one properly. The Grade I walnut stock wears a satin finish that shrugs off field wear better than high gloss, and the silver nitride receiver looks sharp against the blued barrels while resisting corrosion. An Inflex recoil pad soaks up what little kick a 20 gauge target load generates, so a 200 round day at the sporting clays course won't leave a mark.
One Gun for the Range and the Field
Three Invector-Plus Midas Grade choke tubes come in the box, so you can run improved cylinder for close covey rises, modified for the clays course, and full when the shots stretch out. If you've been trying to justify one over under that genuinely does it all, this is the gun that ends the search.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Browning Cynergy CX 20 gauge better suited for clays or hunting?
It's built to do both, and that's the whole point of the CX line. The 60/40 point of impact splits the difference between a flat-shooting field gun and a high-shooting trap gun, so it works for trap, skeet, sporting clays, and upland birds. The 30 inch barrels give you a smooth swing on the course while the 6 pound 6 ounce weight keeps it comfortable to carry all day.
What choke tubes 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 covers most target games and upland hunting right out of the box. The Invector-Plus system is one of the most widely supported choke platforms out there, so extended and specialty tubes are easy to find if you want to expand your setup.
How is the Cynergy CX different from a Citori?
The biggest difference is the MonoLock Hinge, which gives the Cynergy a noticeably lower profile receiver than the Citori's traditional design. That puts your hands closer to the bore axis for a more natural pointing feel, and plenty of folks who never quite gelled with a Citori or Beretta find the Cynergy fits them better. It also has the Inflex recoil pad and a three-position adjustable trigger.
Will the 3 inch chambers on this 20 gauge handle heavier hunting loads?
Yes, the 3 inch chambers let you run everything from light 7/8 ounce target loads up to full-power 3 inch hunting shells. That flexibility is a big part of what makes this a legitimate crossover gun. The Inflex recoil pad helps take the sting out of the stouter stuff, though a sub 6.5 pound 20 gauge will always let you know when you're shooting magnums.
