Basically, I think not enough people are hip to the fact that the 12 gauge(double)is THE most versatile shotgun in the world.
Add to that the fact that everybody who shoots likes more than one gun and the more differences the better. Chances are their main shotgun(s) been a 12 bore. They get a little dough and/or see something they tell themselves they can't live without and the chase is on! The smaller gauges can be seen as cooler, sexier and on and on.
Hey, I love them ALL. But my main bird hunters are classic, light (6 1/2 lb) vintage 12 bore doubles.
