Description
The Browning Citori CX White, 12 Ga, 32″, 3″, 2rd, Adjustable Comb, Walnut is a purpose-built over-and-under shotgun engineered for the competitive clay target range. It combines a long, stable 32-inch barrel set with a fully adjustable comb stock to provide a precise, repeatable mount and a clean, consistent swing for breaking birds. This isn’t a field gun adapted for competition—it’s a dedicated tool for shooters who demand performance where consistency is everything.
Key Features
- Adjustable Comb Stock: The walnut stock features a fully adjustable comb, allowing you to dial in the perfect eye alignment with the rib for a consistent point of impact. No gunsmithing required to achieve a custom fit.
- 32″ Over-and-Under Barrels: The long, ported barrels provide a smooth, stable swing and reduced muzzle rise, helping you maintain visual focus on the target. They’re chambered for 3″ shells, offering versatility.
- CX-Specific Geometry: Built on the proven Citori action, the CX model has a raised rib and specific balance point designed for the sustained mount and follow-through needed in trap, skeet, and sporting clays.
- White Receiver Finish: The distinctive white satin nickel finish reduces glare on sunny days, a practical advantage when tracking high-flying clays against a bright sky.

Weighing in at approximately 8.5 pounds, the Citori CX White carries its mass forward, damping swing arc and promoting a steady, unhurried follow-through. That weight, combined with the 32-inch barrel length, is a deliberate choice for target shooting where smoothness trumps speed. The price reflects its position as a serious competition-ready platform at $2295.56.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This shotgun is for the committed clay shooter—the trap shooter who needs a consistent mount for 16-yard and handicap lines, or the sporting clays enthusiast facing long crossers and true pairs. It’s for the competitor who understands that a proper fit is non-negotiable and values the ability to tweak comb height without visiting a gunsmith. If your weekend is defined by the crunch of shot shell hulls underfoot and the smell of gunpowder, this is your workhorse. It’s also compatible with a wide range of aftermarket accessories from brands like Briley for chokes and Graco for recoil-reducing buttpads.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The adjustable comb is the standout feature, offering a custom fit straight from the factory. The long, ported barrels provide exceptional swing dynamics and reduced perceived recoil. The white finish is both distinctive and functionally anti-glare. Browning’s reliability and build quality are inherent in the Citori action.
Cons: The 8.5+ pound weight and 32″ barrels make it cumbersome for field hunting or fast-paced games like skeet for some shooters. It’s a dedicated tool, not a generalist. At this price point, you’re investing in a specific discipline.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the adjustable comb easy to set up, and what tools are needed?
A: Yes, it’s designed for user adjustment. The comb adjusts for height and cast using supplied hex keys. You can fine-tune it at the range to match your exact cheek weld and eye position—it’s a straightforward process that requires no permanent modification.
Q: Can this model handle high-volume target loads without issue?
A: Absolutely. The Browning Citori action is renowned for its durability. It’s built to digest thousands of standard 2 3/4″ target loads, which is exactly what it’s designed for. The 3″ chamber simply adds versatility for other potential uses.
Q: How does the balance feel with the 32-inch barrels?
A: The balance point is slightly forward of the hinge pin, which many shooters prefer for target disciplines. This creates a “point-and-push” feel that helps maintain swing momentum and prevents stopping the gun on follow-through. It feels deliberate and stable, not muzzle-heavy.
