The Beretta 686 is lighter and more versatile for field use, but the Citori CXT’s Monte Carlo stock and back-bored barrel make it a better fit for dedicated trap shooters. The CZ-USA Drake is a budget-friendly alternative, but lacks the refined fit and finish of the Browning.
FAQ
What choke tubes does the Browning Citori CXT White Trap use?

Is the Browning Citori CXT White Trap suitable for left-handed shooters?

Per Browning specs, the length of pull is approximately 14.75 inches, which is standard for trap guns. It can be adjusted with a recoil pad spacer if needed.
Can I use 3-inch shells in this shotgun?
