The Browning Citori “crossover” shotgun concept has surged in popularity since its release. This gun is designed to be adaptable to all the clay target games, from trap to skeet to sporting clays, and still excel in the game field without being too heavy or cumbersome to carry all day long. Now, this this excellent, versatile shotgun is available for left-handed shooters.
What makes the CX different is the specialized features that enhance performance. For example, the Three Position Trigger allows the user to select from three different locations to create their perfect finger-on-trigger position. A tapered rib aids in accuracy, and Total Barrel Dynamics ensures tight, consistent patterns in the constriction needed.
For 50 years the Browning Citori has been revered by hunters and target shooters alike; ranking among the toughest, most reliable, best handling, and most beautiful over and under shotguns available. None of these accolades come as a surprise, however, as the foundation of the Citori is the Superposed, designed by none other than John M. Browning – a man widely regarded as the greatest gun designer in history.
Although not the first over and under shotgun, the Superposed was the first commercially successful model. John M. Browning himself was a shotgun enthusiast, and imagined the Superposed with the notion that a single sighting plane and single, selective trigger would prove superior to other twin barrel shotguns of the era. In addition, it was designed to be more reliable and attainable than other over/under models. Unfortunately, Mr. Browning would not live to see the Superposed to fruition, passing away in 1926 before he could complete work on his vision.
