You made a great choice. I am 85 and bought my Browning Citori CX (not CXT) for all-around shooting. One suggestion...I added a Limbsaver Air?? butt pad. Makes the recoil far less. Good luck.

 

Yes, I have a Browning vest and the Browning recoil pad that fits in an inner pocket.

 

I got my All American from Briley in Dec 2024. The MSRP has gone up $400 since. The adjustable stock, big honking grip, right hand palm swell, 3 lb adjustable trigger, mid-bead, lengthened chamber taper, bolted hinge blocks, barrel ports, 5 extended black chokes (Cyl, IC, LM, Mod, IM), and travel case are standard. I added a Dewey 2 piece SS cleaning rod to my kit. All other shotguns with those features were at least 4x more in cost. The CZ accepts Blaser Spectrum chokes so I went ahead and got 2 Skeet. Sporting Clays gets the factory LM and IM chokes. Mine weighed in at 8lb 12oz. The weight is behind the hinge pins. I hand off the scatter gun to the curious and 2 things happen. 1. Oh my, this thing is heavy. 2. Oh my, this thing doesn't recoil. I set the POI for 60/40, #8 shot delivers good patterns, and it regularly smokes clays when I do my part.

First impressions. Bottom barrel first took a minute to appreciate. Transitions to the 2nd shot are under control. Close and lockup remains tight and solid. I don't have any issues seeing around the barrel.

Final thoughts. I can theoretically fire 10-20K rounds, Briley will take it back, service it with drop-in factory replacement parts, and get me back in the game. When I find something better with at least that many features, then I'll buy it.

 

At 85, I would go used. I am 75 and looking at getting back into trap after 25 year absence. Appreciate the above thoughts.
