The XS Skeet configuration pairs 28 inch ported steel barrels with a ventilated top rib and mid-bead for a classic, competition-focused layout. It is chambered for 2 3/4 inch 12-gauge shells and uses the Invector-Plus system, with the monoblock and barrel markings confirming the Citori Special Steel 12GA 2 3/4 inch and Invector-Plus design.
The stock is set up for right-handed shooters, combining an adjustable comb with a right-hand palm swell and significant right-hand cast-off. The checkered walnut pistol-grip stock includes a recoil pad and is matched to a beavertail forend for a comfortable, consistent hold. Length of pull is 14.5.
Controls and sights are straightforward and competition-ready: a single gold-colored selective trigger, tang safety with barrel selector, a red fiber-optic front bead, and a mid-bead on the rib. Ejectors are timed, and overall mechanics present as crisp and properly set up.
The satin silver receiver is factory engraved with scrollwork and gold accents, including a gold Browning buckmark, and the gun bears correct proofs and markings: Browning Arms Company Morgan, Utah — Made in Japan / Miroku; Citori Special Steel 12GA – 2 3/4 inch; Pat. 5933997; and Invector-Plus. Matching assembly numbers are present on the forearm iron and barrel lug.
This example comes with extended Invector-Plus chokes to suit skeet and field tuning: two Skeet tubes installed, plus IC, Mod, IM, and Full. The package is rounded out by the original hard takedown case, choke case, choke wrench, fiber-optic front sight pipe kit, and owner's manual.
