Browning XS Special for Sporting Clays

I am considering one of these for sporting clays and some trap. Any opinions out there someone might be kind enough to share. This is a 30" barrell and high post rib. Thanks in advance!

I have had several of these over the years and I actually shot better with them than my high dollar Perazzi's and Krieghoff's!The stocks must fit me better

...They are great guns and the fit n finish is excellent....Good Luck!

XS specials have had a good reputation for a while. While I am not sure you can get one for both trap and sporting clays, if you get an adjustable stock model it might work.

You understand that to be successful at sporting clays you need at least 15 different choke tubes and a battery operated choke tube changer?!!
