Guest stevo Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I would also add , as a hardcore beretta fan boy , the XS ( sporter ) is about the only browning i would own as a comp gun , there a tad on the weighty side , but very much to my liking , and very well balanced IMO ?also a very nice looking gun . And very shootable . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted February 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 As it happens i am shooting an xs 30" sporter at the moment and am well pleased with it but i was just wondering if it was worth upgrading to a Prestige but after reading the comments it would not seem worth it so i'll keep what iv'e got. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevo Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Samboy. If your shooting well with it , KEEP IT mate and enjoy. There still a very well respected gun on clay circuit . A good friend of mines lad used one for two yrs and worked his way up and onto the England junior DTL team 2017 with it . He has the sporter XS and the Trap XT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s why I moved to fast trap , I swapped the sand bagging for ABT , the most unfair of them all haha ? but that’s half it’s charm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted February 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Yep i'm going to keep it but you know what it's like when you get the wants. I'm off to my local rfd tomorrow but i think i'll keep my blindfold on lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 Absolutely nothing wrong with getting "the wants", most people regret parting with a gun once they have the new one. I think that may be why we have so many, keep the old one as well as the new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm off to my local rfd tomorrow but i think i'll keep my blindfold on lol. Reet, I bought my XS new in 1999, (30"), always wanted a Browning but too low in the comb for me, XS came out with adjustable comb, job jobbed, mucked around with it, lifting and lowering depending if I was shooting trap or not. Eventually decided that was silly, set it to where I was happy shooting sporting with it and have left it. (Shot quite well with it by my standards) and was happy. Had a really bad time from 2007-2011, decided to upgrade to to an Ultra XS Prestige (32") just because I could, found one with stunning wood so bought it, part ex'd my XS Couldn't hit a barn door with it consistently..don't know if it was the change from 30-32" or not....tried for almost a year to the day when I saw my original XS back up for sale (had a very small clay mark on the stock) Rang up the dealer....explained I wanted mine back, he was happy to do the deal, went and bought it back, as soon as I picked it up it just felt right ?. Overall I lost around £400 in the deal but haven't regretted it since. If the Prestige had been a 30" then maybe things might have worked out different. Can't see me selling this gun again, I might not get the chance to buy it back again lol food for thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I can understand that completely ... My 'want' is a DT11 Black Edition, but the reality is I'd be asking them to make it 100% the same as my current Invictus. DUH ! Why do it?? So booked a couple of hols with the family instead and got more points to go shooting through the year :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
