The Cynergy CX pairs a silver nitride receiver with 30-inch satin blue barrels and a charcoal gray composite stock, a two-tone over-and-under built for clay targets. Inside, Browning's Reverse Striker ignition and mechanical trigger give a short lock time and little overtravel, while the MonoLock hinge and rectangular locking pins carry the strain of the action. Chambers are 3 inches and chrome plated, chokes are flush Invector-Plus with Full, Modified and Improved Cylinder included, and the vent rib carries an ivory bead. An adjustable comb and Cynergy Inflex pad fit the stock to the shooter. It weighs 7 pounds, with a 14 1/4-inch pull and 48 inches overall.

At 7 pounds the CX is a target gun light enough for a South Carolina shooter who splits time between skeet, sporting clays and the occasional walk in the field. The composite stock takes rain and rough handling, and the adjustable comb means two people in the family can share one gun and each set it to their own face.
