Which browning citori

Just as with Jack, I took just a few practice mounts before calling the first clay. A little surprised, but certainly not astonished, the first clay broke and then the next, and the next, and so on. I was up to clay 14 before I registered my first miss…and only a few more escaped before I finished my round. I confess to being only an average shooter, but with the Browning Citori CXS in my hands and my confidence booming I could have kept breaking clays all day long. The Browning Citori CXS is considered to be an entry-level competition gun that can also be used in the field.

The shotgun is available in both 12 and 20 gauge, and both are available with 28, 30, or 32 inch barrels. The barrels are non-ported with vented mid-rib and the top rib is flat to the barrels. The barrels have Pro-Vector forcing cones to improve patterning along with recoil reduction. This is a distinct contrast to the most recent Browning which sports a lower profile. But for me, the simple black action of the Browning Citori CXS has a distinct elegance that is hard to beat.

The Browning Citori CXS takes a page out of the Perazzi playbook and devotes their resources to engineering quality performance rather than unneeded engraving. The wide blade adjustable gold washed trigger sets off nicely against the all black action and trigger guard. The blade shape will work for nearly everyone, and the trigger pulls will be more than adequate for all but the most discerning of competitive shooters.

I always feel like I have little more quality in my hands than I paid for when I am holding one. Joe Genzel is the associate editor at Outdoor Life.

The Citori is more than a shotgun, it is the quintessential representative of the quality of the Browning brand. Action components are machined to exacting tolerances, heat-treated for greater strength and fitted using the traditional lampblack-and-file method to ensure the precise fit of critical components prior to being assembled to the action.

It is this extreme level of craftsmanship that leads to the dependable function, impeccable looks, championship performance and respect from both Citori owners and the competition alike. Open and close the action and throw it to your shoulder. Sight down the barrels. Only then will you fully understand why the Citori has gained its reputation as the finest over and under shotgun available in the world. Hammers are powered by powerful coil-type mainsprings for positive primer ignition. The convenient barrel selector allows the shooter to choose which barrel fires on the first pull of the single trigger, and the second pull fires the remaining barrel.

The automatic ejectors eject fired shells when the breech is opened and elevate unfired shells for easy removal. The Citori utilizes a transverse-mounted, full-width tapered locking bolt.
