Looking at both please give your opinions pros and cons on these two guns for skeet thanks.

does anyone have a opinion on which gun to buy.

Which one fits you?

This is the real question. The XS Skeet and CX are both good guns.

Differences may be rib height, adjustable comb and/or parallel comb. All of those go to fit.

The XS Skeet will probably have porting, the CX may not. While I prefer barrels that are not ported, that is a very minor decision point to me.

I have a CX with adjustable comb. The rib is higher than the CXS and is designed to be a crossover where the CXS is more of a dedicated skeet gun. I'm 5'9", 200# and stocky build. The CX fits me nicely and the adjustable comb helped me get the gun shooting where I want it to.

the xs skeet will have a nickel receiver and the cx are normally blued receivers.

Normally, yes. As noted in my signature I have a 30" CX White however.

I don't know what the xs skeet shoots, but the CX is designed to shoot 60/40. The CXS is designed to shoot 50/50. It's all in the rib, I believe.

I think POI can also be adjusted with an adjustable comb.

tp (edjumacated guessing)

Yes, an adjustable comb ( I have one) and an adjustable rib
( I don't have one) are good things for shooting different disciplines.

Depends on your preference. The XS Skeet has a parallel comb. Other than that, and perhaps rib height, any differences will be cosmetic as they are both Citori shotguns. I have both and prefer the XS Skeet by a large margin. The production XS Skeet came with grade 3 wood and the CX comes with grade 1 wood. I also prefer the semi-beavertail forearm on the XS Skeet.

A few XS Skeet guns had blued receivers but I think there were special order guns. This is my 28 gauge I got it this year from a dealer who had 3 of them new in the box.

That is a very nice 28 gauge does he have anymore? Anyway I bought the xs skeet and really like thanks fir the comments.

He doesn't. He sold 2 right away and was keeping the other for himself. It was somewhat difficult to convince him to sell any of them. It's a hobby for him and he maintains a lot of new old stock.

I don't remember which distributor purchased and sold them, but apparently Browning has a program that they will sell you customized guns if you order so many. The production XS Skeets were silver nitrite with grade 3 wood. This special order gun is blued with grade 1 wood.
