Scully Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 There will be mostly cosmetic differences at a guess, but it’s all down to marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPhantom Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 The Ultra XS is the standard sporter, XT is the trap version. Ultra XSH is somewhere between the two - a trap version of the XS with a sporter forend and multichokes. The Prestige is a bling version of XS. Nicer wood generally and different engraving. Comes with titanium chokes as standard. I notice they have just introduced an XS Pro too. No idea about this one! I’ve owned a standard XS for years and no real desire to change. Quite heavy but that’s no bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Sure the pro has the adjustable rib. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabel25 Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Perhaps just another marketing ploy same as cartridges Loads of numbers implied to the same gun Just a quick look on GT and one will find in excess of 2500 Brownings and Berreta's each with more numbers than a telephone directory I was asked a couple of years back to find some flush fitting chokes for a mates' mates beretta I had to google and troll through all info to find what the hell i was supposed to be looking for. Not being a Berretta person i had'nt a clue what the hell i was looking for After research i managed to locate some, Thanks to a nice PW member No disripect to Browning / Beretta owners but it's a mine field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westward Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Ultra XS and XT succeeded the Ultra GTI. They weren't much more than a minor facelift and retained the old heavyweight barrels but eventually the XS Prestige and Titanium versions which replaced them had better wood and (finally) lighter barrels with Briley supplied chokes, all of which meant a step up in handling. The Ultra XS Pro is the same gun but with revised graphics and an accessory set that includes balance weights and alternative trigger blades.

Fatcatsplat Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 The Ultra GTi is probably the ugliest gun in the world - Awful wood and really bad 1980's boy racer logos on the action with absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever, BUT, it's a lovely gun to shoot, well balanced and fits me like a glove.

My biggest gun sale regret is a yellow go faster stripe Browning GTI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
