I like the Browning XT - but for anything other than Trap - its a little bit too heavy and swings a little too slowly for crossing birds that you don't see in Trap ( but my XT's are both 32" barrels ). The extra length and weight in the XT is an advantage in "Trap" because there is less Left to Right or Right to Left barrel movement - than there is in Sporting Clays or Skeet. But the price seems pretty good. There are 3 versions of the GraCoil system / some adjustable, some not - you can look at them on their web-site.
I shoot a pre-mounted gun for sporting / and I use the Bobby Fowler Jr method of dropping muzzle a little ... so the Trap style - parallel comb stock is not a disadvantage.
I think the Browning XS Skeet ( or the XS Special ), with an adj comb, is a better choice for an all around gun for Sporting Clays, Skeet and bird hunting ( with 30" barrels ) - but if the XT you are looking at has 30" barrels, while its still heavy, it may be ok.
The XT's will shoot a pretty high pattern / vs point of impact - but most of them, you can adjust the comb to get them down close to 50/50 or 60/40 which might be ok for you. I like my sporting, skeet and hunting gun to be pretty close to 50%/50%.
If the XT fits you / it means you probably need to stay with a gun that has a parallel comb ( comb parallel to the rib ) - and probably an adj comb insert ( like the Citori XS Skeet, or Citori XS Special). Most of the guns that Browning and others market for "sporting" have a lot of drop at the comb and the heel ( and they don't fit me at all ).
