The Browning Citori CXS Elite is a 12 GA over/under built specifically for clay target shooting. The 32-inch back-bored vent rib barrel helps maintain consistent patterns and absorbs some felt recoil, and the fixed stock with adjustable comb lets each shooter dial in their ideal cheek weld and eye-to-rib alignment. At 8.20 lbs. and 49.5 inches overall, it sits on the heavier end for extended sessions but stays well-balanced across both barrels.

Features 

The Triple Trigger System provides three selectable trigger pulls with barrel-selection control. Invector Plus Midas chokes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) are included. The adjustable comb stock accommodates different face heights and shooting styles without requiring aftermarket modifications. Top tang safety sits in a natural thumb position. The gloss black walnut stock and polished blued barrel are finished to Browning's standard on the CXS line.

The CXS Elite's adjustable comb is the feature owners cite most. It solves fit issues that otherwise require custom stock work, which matters when the gun is used in competition. Build quality and finish receive consistent praise, and the 32-inch barrel's balance gets positive marks for the sustained swings that sporting clays and trap require. Browning's customer service is mentioned favorably in several discussions.

The weight at 8.20 lbs. draws occasional comment from shooters who find prolonged carrying tiring, and the price sits at the upper tier. A few buyers note the 32-inch barrel makes the gun awkward in transport and at close-quarters stations. Overall, people who shoot it in competition tend to be satisfied. It handles varied disciplines from skeet to trap without significant compromise.
