The Citori CXS is a 12-gauge over-and-under meant to move between sporting clays, skeet and upland hunting without a change of guns. Its 28-inch barrels wear a polished blued finish and a flat floating rib with an ivory front bead and a mid bead, the chambers take 3-inch shells, and the point of impact is set at 50/50. The Grade II black walnut stock has a 14 3/4-inch length of pull; the gun weighs 8 pounds and spans 45 inches. Invector-Plus Midas chokes in Full, Modified and Improved Cylinder are included, and the Triple Trigger System lets you set trigger position.

For a New Mexico shooter who wants one over-and-under for the clay course and the bird field, the CXS is built around that compromise: the 50/50 impact point gives a natural sight picture on both rising clays and flushing birds, and the 28-inch barrels swing quickly without feeling short. Three chokes cover close skeet stations through longer sporting presentations, and the 3-inch chambers accept heavier field loads.
