TD,

If you were trading in a gun, would you tell them that it is a POS and that it doesn't cycle shells?

Also, if there are plenty of aftermarket barrels available for this thing and they come with screw in chokes, why was the fixed choke such a problem? Why couldn't your gun guy recommend an after market barrel with a screw in choke to this guy versus trading in two guns on a X2? Something just doesn't smell right in Denmark. Then again, I have been wrong about a couple of things in my life (e.g., MT's X2 and TJ's Browning o/u). Oh yeah, then there are your Citoris, but something tells me that you don't shoot them as much as I shot mine on trap and skeet. Not all Brownings are bad. Like MT, I have a BPS and used that gun for quite a while because I loved Brownings back then. I grew up with them and didn't know there was anything else out there, other than Winchester, until I hit 18, and even then I picked a Browning o/u over a Beretta for my first gun purchase. I loved the BPS and had been using it since I was about 12 years old. Continued to use it for hunting for quite a while longer because the Browning Auto 5 with the humpback and the clunky feeling turned me off from autoloaders. Then I started shooting clays with the Citori and figured out that I was terrible on doubles while hunting with the pump. Hence, the move to autoloaders.
