Description
You’re on the station, the low sun at your back. The first pair of crossing targets launches, and your mount is pure muscle memory—the gun comes up, your cheek finds a perfect, locked weld, and the first clay disintegrates. That’s the promise of the Browning Citori CXS White. This is a purpose-built over-under shotgun designed for the serious sporting clays and field shooter who demands repeatable, instinctive performance. The Browning Citori CXS White, 12 Ga, 30″, 3″, 2rd, Adjustable Comb, Walnut is a premium sporting shotgun featuring a white receiver, a 30-inch barrel set, a 3-inch chamber, and a user-adjustable comb system over a select walnut stock, engineered for consistent pointability and reduced felt recoil in competitive and hunting scenarios.
Look, when it comes to breaking targets or taking game on the wing, consistency is everything. The CXS White is engineered to deliver just that. Its cornerstone is the adjustable comb, a feature that transforms a great shotgun into your shotgun. You can dial in the height and cast to match your exact facial structure and dominant eye, ensuring your sight picture is identical every single time you mount. This isn’t a gimmick—it’s the difference between a clean break and a chip. The 30-inch barrels provide a long, smooth swing plane ideal for sustained leads on long crossers or high-flying birds, while the 3-inch chamber versatility handles everything from light target loads to heavier waterfowl or turkey ammunition. At a weight of approximately 8 pounds, it balances forward of the hinge, promoting a fluid, controlled follow-through.
Browning’s Citori action is legendary for a reason. It’s built on a robust, low-profile boxlock design with a single selective mechanical trigger. The white, high-polish finish on the receiver isn’t just for show; it provides a clean, glare-resistant sighting surface. The walnut stock and fore-end are cut from high-grade wood with a satin finish, offering both durability and a classic aesthetic. The Inflex Technology recoil pad is a key feature, channeling energy downward and outward to significantly soften perceived recoil—a critical advantage during long practice sessions or a 100-target course. This system is drop-in ready and works in harmony with the gun’s overall weight to make shooting high-volume 12-gauge loads surprisingly manageable.

Pros: The adjustable comb system allows for a custom fit without gunsmithing. The 30-inch barrels offer superb swing dynamics for sporting clays and field use. The Inflex recoil pad and overall weight effectively mitigate recoil. The white receiver provides excellent visual reference. The build quality and Browning reliability are unquestioned.
Cons: The premium features command a premium price point of $2372.93. The 30-inch barrel can feel lengthy in tight blinds or upland cover for some shooters. As a dedicated sporting tool, its two-round capacity and specific configuration are less suited for tactical or high-volume waterfowl blind use compared to a semi-auto.
So who is this for? The CXS White is for the shooter who has moved past entry-level over-unders and is investing in performance. It’s for the competitive shooter looking to shatter targets, not just hit them. It’s for the discerning hunter who wants one gun that can transition from a dove field to a pheasant hunt with authority and style. It’s built for those who understand that a proper fit is the foundation of accuracy. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
