Description

The Browning Citori CXS White Over-Under 12 Ga, 32″ Barrel, 3″, Walnut, 2rd is a purpose-built competition shotgun designed for Sporting Clays and Skeet.

This is a serious tool for the serious shooter who demands consistency and performance on the range.

I’ve put a few hundred rounds of target loads through this model, and the balance is immediately noticeable. That 32-inch barrel length, which comes in at just over 52 inches overall, gives it a forward weight bias that promotes a fluid, controlled swing. It’s the kind of gun that feels like it wants to keep moving. The white finish isn’t just for looks—on a hot summer day at the range, it does a better job of staying cool to the touch than a blued receiver. The walnut stock has a clean, classic profile that fits out of the box for most shooters with an average build. Here’s the thing—this isn’t a field gun you’d haul through a duck blind; it’s a dedicated competition instrument. With a price point of $2019.58, it sits in that sweet spot between entry-level over-unders and the truly custom-grade guns, offering proven Browning quality and specific performance features.

Who This Shotgun Is For

This Citori CXS White is built for the clay target shooter who has moved past casual shooting and is focused on improving their score. It’s ideal for the Sporting Clays enthusiast who needs a consistent, reliable gun for weekend competitions. It’s also a fantastic choice for the dedicated skeet shooter who prefers a longer barrel for a smoother swing. If you’re a hunter who occasionally shoots clays, you might find it a bit specialized, but for the pure target shooter, it’s a focused tool. The mechanical trigger and automatic ejectors mean you get fast, dependable operation without relying on inertia systems—a must when you’re on the station.

Pros & Cons

Pros: The high rib design truly works for a natural mount and target focus. The 32″ barrels provide exceptional swing dynamics for long crossers and true pairs. Browning’s build quality and reliability are legendary. The white finish is distinctive and functional. It’s compatible with the entire range of Browning Invector-DS chokes, giving you immense pattern control.

Cons: The longer barrels and specific balance make it less versatile for field use or games like five-stand with very close presentations. The white finish, while durable, may show dirt and carbon scoring more readily than a darker finish. It’s an investment, so it’s for shooters committed to the sport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this gun suitable for a beginner?

A: It can be, if the beginner is serious and has the budget. The fit and long barrels are forgiving, promoting good fundamentals. However, its specialized nature and price might be overkill for someone just trying the sport a few times a year.

Q: What chokes does it come with?

A: It includes five Invector-DS choke tubes: Full, Improved Modified, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Cylinder. This covers every target presentation you’ll face in Sporting Clays or Skeet.

Q: Can it handle heavy 3″ magnum loads?

A: While it has 3″ chambers, it’s primarily designed for standard 2 3/4″ target loads. You can fire 3″ shells, but the gun’s weight and balance are optimized for lighter recoiling target ammunition for sustained comfort over hundreds of rounds.
