Beavertail fore ends, vent ribs and recoil pads are of value to the person who is seriously into breaking clays (live birds too). The gun, to a competition shooter is a tool, not a love object. Shoot a 100 or 200 bird race and then let's discuss the merits of BTFEs and vent ribs. Walter c. Snyder

Run With The Fox Sidelock Joined: May 2008 Posts: 8,158 Likes: 114 Michigan	I do- A 2E 12 gauge LC Smith- refitted at Fulton in 1927 with a set of 32" Nitro steel barrels with reinforcing yoke and Simmonds (Gifford) designed raised ventilated rib- 3" chambers - but NOT a longrange-- choked .040" in each tube- I love it- DT, EJ, 8 lbs. Twice the gun my old beat-up Fox 12 HE Magnum was at 10 lbs. (M-1 Garand weight class) great ejectors-death on tower birds, box pigeons and both turkeys and waterfowls too-The rest of my Smiths have the std. file cut rib, and I like them very much also- but this 2E- it is my "Bo-Whooper" if I dare borrow a page from ther Nash Buckingham playbook-- "The field is the touchstone of the man"..
