Key Features
- Lightweight Ported Barrel (32″) — The porting reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil, letting you stay on target faster for those second shots on crossing clays or flushing birds. That extra 32 inches of barrel gives you a smooth swing and a longer sight plane.
- Gold Enhanced Receiver — Not just for looks: the gold-enhanced receiver adds a touch of class and corrosion resistance. It’s a hallmark of Browning’s commitment to craftsmanship, and it’ll draw admiring glances at the club or in the field.
- American Black Walnut Monte Carlo Stock with Graco Adjustable Comb — The Monte Carlo comb raises your eye for a natural cheek weld, and the Graco comb lets you dial in the cast, drop, and height to fit your face perfectly. This means consistent shot placement and less fatigue during a long round of sporting clays.
- Automatic Ejectors and Barrel Selector — Fired shells get kicked out cleanly; unfired ones lift for easy removal. The convenient barrel selector lets you choose which barrel fires first—over, under, or both—so you can tailor your choke setup for every station.
Who It’s For
This Browning Citori CXT is built for the competitive clay shooter who wants a reliable, adjustable over-under that can handle thousands of rounds without a hiccup. It’s also a fine choice for the serious bird hunter who needs a gun that fits like a custom stock and swings naturally. If you shoot sporting clays, trap, or skeet and you’re ready to move up from a field gun to a dedicated competition model, this is your ticket.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Rock-solid lockup with the transverse locking bolt; lightweight ported barrel reduces recoil; fully adjustable comb for a custom fit; gold-enhanced receiver is both durable and beautiful; automatic ejectors speed up reloads.
- Cons: The Monte Carlo stock may not suit every shooter’s natural point of aim—some may prefer a straight comb, but the Graco adjustable comb helps compensate. Also, the 32-inch barrel can feel a bit long in tight quarters like a duck blind, though it’s ideal for clays.

The Browning Citori CXT undercuts both competitors in price while offering a longer ported barrel and a more adjustable stock out of the box. The Zev Osprey is lighter but lacks porting, and the Geissele is heavier with no factory porting. For the money, the Browning gives you the best fit and recoil management.
FAQ
Does this Browning Citori CXT come with choke tubes?
Yes. The Citori CXT ships with a set of Invector DS choke tubes—typically Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder, and Skeet—so you can tune your pattern for clays or birds right out of the box.
Is the Graco adjustable comb easy to set up?
Yes. The Graco comb uses a simple Allen-key adjustment for cast, drop, and height. Most shooters can dial in a perfect fit in under 15 minutes. Per Browning specs, the comb is designed for on-the-fly tuning.
What’s the barrel length and porting pattern?
The barrel is 32 inches long with a ported section near the muzzle. The ports are small, round holes drilled in a linear pattern to reduce muzzle rise and felt recoil without compromising barrel strength.
Can I use this shotgun for hunting as well as clays?
Absolutely. It’s a 12 gauge 3″ chamber, so it’ll handle heavy waterfowl loads and light target loads. The 32-inch barrel is ideal for pass-shooting ducks and geese, and the adjustable comb helps you get a perfect cheek weld with heavy clothing.
