Would you Adam and Eve it. Talk about not being able to see the wood for the trees. I've searched high and low in magazines and on the web for what the difference is, yet today I opened a browning catalogue and the answer was right in front of me :good: :good:

 

Apparently, the XSH is a trap version of the XS, but with a sporter forend and multichokes. To make it more versatile for DTL/DT/OT/UT.

 

Mystery over :good:

A fellow member pointed that out to me too but as far as i can tell it doesn't shoot any different to my last gun (a sporter), although i haven't patterned it to see if it shoots particularly high.

 

What i still don't understand why there is an XT (Trap) versions yet this apparent XSH hybrid? Is it just simply an attempt to be an allrounder then?

I think so yeah, the XT seems to be geared towards Down the Line and American Trap which demands a heavier gun. The XSH is supposed to be a bit more versatile, so it can be used for OT and Double trap, which is best shot with a lighter gun and more open chokes. That is how I have interpreted it, but with me not being a fanatical trap shooter I'm not 100%.

 

If anybody knows better then I stand corrected (said the man in the orthopaedic shoes) :good:

I'm going to pattern it at some point. As it stands it seems to have a typical sporter weight, fore end and multichokes. So a sporter then! After i pattern it i doubt i could tell much apart from a 60/40 and 70/30 pattern anyway but i am intrigued none the less.

Yep that's the same catalogue that a fellow PW member pointed out. Looks conclusive on the trap front, still with intrigue in mind on what this gun is, because i'm not convinced, i've looking at the specs of the gun and they seem to be the same as the sporting models. The fact that remains to been seen is the pattern. Hopefully i'll get around to it soon and you guys with a more eagle eye can do a 'spot the difference'.
