The over/under shotgun market rewards designs that blend precision machining with practical field performance. For shooters who demand consistent lock-up, reliable cycling, and a balance between hunting and clay-target capability, this model earns attention from experienced shooters and competitive shooters alike.

BROWNING CITORI CX

Design and construction

The BROWNING CITORI CX is built on Browning’s time-proven action: action components are machined to exacting tolerances, heat-treated for greater strength, and fitted using the traditional lampblack-and-file method to achieve a precise mating of parts. The transverse-mounted, full-width tapered locking bolt engages a full-width tapered recess in the rear barrel lugs, delivering a secure lock-up that translates to repeatable shot-to-shot consistency.

Barrel, chamber, and chokes

This 12 gauge model ships with a 28″ barrel and a chrome-plated chamber for corrosion resistance and easier maintenance with heavy loads. The CX includes three extended Midas Grade choke tubes, giving the shooter density control across range — ideal for switching between tight trap spreads and more open sporting clay presentations. The shotgun’s 60/40 POI balance is tuned to perform equally well on birds and clay targets.

Shooting performance and handling

At the range, the American walnut stock with an Inflex recoil pad helps manage felt recoil and preserves quick follow-up capability. The ivory bead front with a mid-bead sight picture aids fast target acquisition in varying light. The engineered balance and crisp lock-up make swing and recovery predictable — an asset during sporting clays cycles or fast flushing bird work.

Fit, finish, and value

Finish quality complements the mechanical integrity: the lampblack-and-file fitting process gives traditional fit that many shooters prefer in premium shotguns. At a listed price of $2164.99, the CITORI CX positions itself as a premium crossover shotgun that doesn’t stray from the multipurpose versatility many owners expect from Browning.

For shooters serious about a durable, precise over/under built for birds, trap, and sporting clays, the BROWNING CITORI CX is a focused option. View product details and pricing or Check current availability on the shop page to confirm stock and purchase.
