My obsession of course is the incessant wonder that people can be so stupid as to not see things my way.

Yeah me too, all SxS's should have vent ribs, beavertails and single triggers. I ordered a Caesar 28ga 30" tubes, left handed stock with a palm swell,topped with an adjustable comb.
Should have it Sat and get down to dialing it in. Those lighter guns just feel to whippy to me. I like a nice 21 crowbar that handles like a club.
