What are the key features of the Browning Citori CXS White?
The Browning Citori CXS White 20/28 Gauge Over/Under Combo Shotgun is built for shooters who demand adaptability and reliability. This model comes with two sets of barrels, allowing you to switch between 20 gauge and 28 gauge, which is a significant advantage for various shooting situations. The 30-inch barrels on both sets provide a consistent swing and sight plane, beneficial whether you're breaking clays or in the field.
- Two Barrel Sets: Includes both 20 gauge and 28 gauge barrels, each 30 inches long, offering immediate versatility. This means you’re ready for different target presentations or game without needing a second firearm.
- White Receiver Finish: The white receiver provides a distinct aesthetic that stands out from more traditional blued or black finishes. It's not just for looks; the finish is durable and designed to resist wear from regular use.
- Mid-Weight Design: Engineered to balance between a dedicated sporting clays gun and a lighter field gun. This makes it comfortable to carry for extended periods but still provides enough mass to absorb recoil effectively.
- Invector-Plus Choke System: Both barrel sets utilize the Invector-Plus choke system, allowing for easy customization of shot patterns. This is crucial for optimizing performance across different shooting scenarios, from close-range skeet to longer sporting clays shots.
- Adjustable Length of Pull: The stock design allows for some adjustment in length of pull, which helps shooters fine-tune the fit for improved comfort and consistent mounting.
- Triple Trigger System: A common feature on Citori models, the Triple Trigger allows for interchangeable trigger shoes, enabling shooters to adjust the trigger reach to their preference. This can significantly improve trigger control and overall shooting consistency.
- Ported Barrels: The barrels are ported, which helps reduce muzzle jump and felt recoil. This feature is particularly noticeable during long shooting sessions, helping to maintain comfort and reduce fatigue.
Who should consider the Browning Citori CXS White Combo?
Buy it if:
- ✅ You participate in multiple clay target sports like skeet, trap, and sporting clays and want one gun that can adapt.
- ✅ You hunt various upland game, where the choice between a 20 gauge and 28 gauge offers an advantage in terms of payload and recoil.
- ✅ You appreciate the craftsmanship and reliability of Browning firearms.
- ✅ You prefer an over/under shotgun for its balance, sight picture, and quick follow-up shots.
- ✅ You are looking for a shotgun that offers a distinct aesthetic with its white receiver.
- ✅ You want a versatile shotgun that can be easily fitted to different shooters or shooting styles.
Skip it if:
- ❌ You are strictly a tactical shotgun shooter; this is not designed for defensive applications. (See our tactical shotguns for alternatives.)
- ❌ You are on a very tight budget and require a more entry-level firearm.
- ❌ You prefer a semi-automatic or pump-action shotgun for specific hunting or sporting needs. (Check out our semi-automatics or pump-actions.)
- ❌ You are looking for a shotgun primarily for waterfowl hunting where a 12 gauge might be preferred for heavier loads.
How does the Browning Citori CXS White compare to other over/under shotguns?
When considering an over/under combo like the Browning Citori CXS White, it’s helpful to see how it stacks up against other options on the market. We’ve selected a couple of examples to give you a clearer picture.
| Feature | Browning Citori CXS White 20/28 Combo | CZ-USA Drake 20 Gauge | Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I 20 Gauge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Steel receiver, Walnut stock | Steel receiver, Walnut stock | Steel receiver, Walnut stock |
| Quality | High-grade, precision manufacturing, durable finishes | Good entry-level, functional, less refined | High-grade, classic Beretta reliability and finish |
| Compatibility | 20 Ga & 28 Ga (combo) | 20 Ga only | 20 Ga only |
| Shipping | Ships from Wichita, KS | Varies by retailer | Varies by retailer |
| Lifespan/Durability | Designed for extensive use, long-term reliability | Adequate for regular use, good value | Known for extreme durability and longevity |
| Price | $2899.0 | ~$800 - $1000 | ~$2500 - $3000 |
The CZ-USA Drake represents a more budget-friendly option. It's a solid, functional over/under, but it won't offer the same level of fit, finish, or the dual-gauge versatility of the Browning. The Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I is a direct competitor in terms of quality and price, offering similar high-end craftsmanship but typically as a single-gauge firearm. The primary differentiator for the Browning Citori CXS White combo is its inclusion of two distinct gauge barrel sets, providing a level of adaptability that often requires purchasing two separate firearms from other manufacturers to achieve.
Frequently Asked Questions about Over/Under Shotguns
What makes an over/under shotgun a good choice for sporting clays?
Over/under shotguns are favored for sporting clays due to their balance, single sighting plane, and the ability to quickly select between two chokes for different target presentations. The fixed barrels also contribute to consistent point of impact.
Can I use steel shot in the Browning Citori CXS White?
The Browning Citori CXS White is typically rated for steel shot in barrels with Invector-Plus choke tubes, but it is always recommended to check the specific owner's manual for your firearm and the chokes you are using. Generally, modified and more open chokes are safe for steel shot, while full and extra full chokes are not.
What is the benefit of having two different gauges in one combo package?
The primary benefit of a combo package with two gauges, like the 20/28 gauge Browning Citori CXS White, is versatility. You can use the 20 gauge for larger birds or more demanding targets, and then switch to the lighter-recoiling 28 gauge for smaller game, less demanding clay targets, or for shooters sensitive to recoil. It saves you from buying and maintaining two separate firearms.
How do I clean and maintain an over/under shotgun?
Regular cleaning involves disassembling the shotgun, cleaning the barrels with a bore brush and solvent, wiping down all metal surfaces, and lightly oiling moving parts. It's important to pay attention to the hinge pin and locking lugs. Always refer to your owner's manual for specific cleaning instructions for your Browning Citori.
Is the Browning Citori CXS White suitable for new shooters?
While the Browning Citori CXS White is a high-quality firearm, its price point might be a consideration for a brand-new shooter. However, the 20 and 28 gauge options offer lighter recoil than a 12 gauge, which can be beneficial for learning. The adjustable features also help in achieving a proper fit, which is crucial for new shooters.
