Description
This here is the Browning Citori CX 12 Gauge 32″ 3″ Chamber Blued/Walnut, a field-proven over/under that’s been a staple on southern dove fields and skeet ranges for years. With its 32-inch barrels, 3-inch chamber, and polished blued finish, it delivers the kind of reliable swing and balance that makes a long day in the sun feel like a pleasure. The Grade II American walnut stock, complete with an adjustable comb, lets you dial in your fit for consistent, clean breaks.

Key Features
- 32-Inch Barrels & Midas Invector-Plus Chokes – Why it matters: The extra barrel length smooths out your swing for longer crossing shots on doves or clays, while the included choke set lets you fine-tune your pattern density for everything from tight skeet to wide-open field loads.
- Adjustable Comb on Grade II Walnut Stock – Why it matters: A proper fit means fewer missed birds and less fatigue. You can raise or lower the comb to align your eye naturally with the rib, turning a good shooter into a great one.
- Triple Trigger System – Why it matters: This Browning-patented design gives you a crisp, consistent pull on every shot—no creep, no surprises. It’s a small detail that adds up over a box of shells.
- Ivory Front & Mid-Bead Sights – Why it matters: High-visibility beads help you pick up the target fast, even in low-light conditions like late afternoon hunts or indoor ranges. They’re simple, durable, and just work.
- Polished Blued Finish – Why it matters: This classic look resists rust and wear when you’re out in the field, and it’s easy to maintain with a quick wipe-down after a rainy hunt.
Who It’s For
The Citori CX is built for the dedicated bird hunter who wants a gun that can pull double duty on the skeet range. If you spend your weekends chasing doves in a Georgia cornfield, then head to the club for sporting clays on Sunday, this Browning will keep up without breaking a sweat. It’s also a solid pick for the shooter who prefers a classic look and feel over the latest space-age plastic.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Smooth, balanced swing; adjustable comb for custom fit; versatile choke system; reliable Browning action; timeless blued/walnut aesthetics.
- Cons: At 7 lbs 12 oz, it’s a bit heavy for all-day walking in thick cover, but that weight helps tame recoil and steady the swing on fast targets.
