Browning Citori CX 12 Gauge Over/Under, 30 inch Barrels, Invector-Plus Extended Chokes, 3 inch Chambers, Miroku Japan
This Browning Citori CX is a 12-gauge over/under built by Miroku in Japan and imported by Browning Arms Co., Morgan, Utah. It features 30 inch back-bored barrels with a ventilated top rib and a white front bead, Invector-Plus extended choke tubes (IC, M, F), and a factory crossover setup that targets roughly a 60/40 POI. The bores are mirror-bright, the action is tight, and the receiver sides carry gold-accented "Citori CX" markings while the trigger guard bears the Browning Buckmark logo.
The steel monoblock barrels are rollmarked "CITORI SPECIAL STEEL 12GA – 2 3/4" AND 3"" and are chambered for both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch shells. Automatic ejectors and a single gold-colored trigger support fast, reliable operation. The gun has a capacity of 2.
The gloss-finished walnut stock presents a right-hand palm swell, slight right-hand cast-off, cut checkering, and an Inflex recoil pad. Length of pull measures 14.25 inches for a familiar Citori fit that mounts naturally.
The steel receiver is marked "Citori CX" in gold, and the trigger guard bears the Browning Buckmark logo in gold. Proofs and import stamps include "Browning Arms Company Morgan, Utah, Made in Japan Miroku," underscoring the Miroku build quality and Browning import lineage.
This CX configuration is designed as a crossover setup, patterning around a 60/40 point of impact to suit a broad range of clay target disciplines. The included extended knurled chokes cover IC, M, and F (three total), with the Improved Cylinder tube provided loose.
