Special Features

Back-Bored Technology increases bore diameter slightly to reduce friction on the shot column, producing denser and more uniform patterns downrange

Vector Pro lengthened forcing cone provides a smoother transition from chamber to bore for consistent shot charge performance

Triple Trigger System allows the shooter to select from three trigger positions for a customized fit without tools

Invector-Plus Midas choke tubes are machined to tighter tolerances than standard Invector-Plus tubes for optimized pattern control

60/40 point of impact is built into the rib geometry, keeping the target visible above the bead and making this gun a natural fit for crossing and rising targets

Practical Benefits

The 30-inch barrel on the Citori CX (018423303) delivers a long, smooth swing arc that is ideal for sporting clays, skeet, and trap presentations where controlled follow-through makes the difference

The triple trigger system lets shooters of different hand sizes dial in a trigger reach that feels natural, reducing fatigue during high-round-count range sessions

The 60/40 point of impact keeps rising birds and clay targets in the shooter’s line of sight rather than obscured by the barrel, a meaningful advantage in competition and field settings

Three included Invector-Plus Midas chokes provide immediate versatility from the box, covering tight choke for long crossing shots to open choke for close-flushing birds

The steel receiver and polished blued finish offer proven durability for shooters who put serious rounds through their guns season after season

The Browning Citori CX (018423303) in 12 gauge with a 30-inch barrel is a capable tool for the sporting clays competitor, skeet shooter, or field hunter who wants a purpose-built over-under that transitions naturally between the range and the field.
