Who This Shotgun Is For
This is built for the intermediate to advanced clay target shooter focused on Sporting Clays and Skeet. It’s for the competitor who understands the advantage of a purpose-built point-of-impact and values a factory-ready gun that requires no immediate modifications. It also suits the discerning enthusiast who appreciates the heritage of the Citori line and desires a visually standout firearm that performs as good as it looks.

Pros & Cons
Pros: The 60/40 POI is a genuine performance advantage on clays. The high-gloss and walnut finish offer exceptional fit and finish for the price point. Browning’s reliability and resale value are well-established. The included extended chokes are immediately useful. Look, it’s a Citori—the benchmark for production over/unders.
Cons: The premium gloss finish can show fingerprints and require more careful handling in the field. The 30-inch barrel may feel long for some shooters in tight Skeet houses. That said, its weight and balance are a trade-off for recoil management versus all-day carry. As with any quality O/U, the initial cost is an investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 60/40 point-of-impact noticeable for a hunter, or is this strictly a target gun?
A: While it can be used for hunting, the 60/40 POI is specifically tuned for breaking clay targets that are often rising. For most field shooting at flying birds, a traditional 50/50 or flat-shooting pattern is often preferred. This model is specialized for the course.
Q: What is the difference between the CX, CXS, and CXT models?
A: The CX is the base model for Sporting Clays. The CXS (this model) is configured more for Skeet and Sporting with a 60/40 POI and slightly different stock dimensions. The CXT is tuned specifically for Trap with a higher 70/30 POI. Choosing the right model aligns with your primary discipline.
Q: Does it come with a hard case?
A: Yes, the Browning Citori CXS White comes with a durable, fitted hard case for storage and transport, providing essential protection for its high-grade finish.
