Default new trap gun. Citori XT

I bought a used Perazzi TM1 several months ago and as much as I tried to like it, I just didn't. I also wanted the option of shooting doubles which the Perazzi didn't offer. Long story short, I sold it and bought a new Citori XT. I went to a place that was recommended by several guys at the club I belong to and was not disappointed. The shop was real busy and when I got to the counter and explained what I wanted, another counter guy was called over to help me. He put half a dozen Brownings on the counter and had me shoulder each one. He pointed out several different things and made suggestions as we went through each one. He even took me into the back of the shop and put me in front of a mirror. We were at it for almost an hour and I couldn't believe he was taking up that much time with me during a busy time in the shop. I've taken it out a few times and it feels great. Length of pull is a little bit long for me but it shoulders naturally and my head on the comb is in the right place. I close my eyes when I shoulder the gun and when I open them, the mid bead and front sight form a perfect figure eight.

Thanks guys. I'm not sure the new gun will improve my scores but it feels better on the shoulder. The length of pull is a little long and I'm toying with the idea of a graycoil butt plate but I'll shoot it some more before I decide on that. The attention at the shop was something I never expected. They definately went above and beyond.
