Looking about the web that Al Gore invented, I find no models of gun as you have described yours, with a true, swamped rib. Most have a concave rib, like this one:

We do have people posting here that don't know the difference twixt a concave rib and a swamped rib.

Trust me, they are not the same.

This is a link to a gun with an actual swamped rib:

I've shot plenty of birds, clay and feathered, with swamped, concave, flat file cut, raised, or, sans rib, and can't understand what difference a rib should make to ones shooting.

The only thing I despise are mid beads, colored beads, or bulgy choke type devices.

If you are looking/thinking about the rib, you will miss.

Why does any of that bother you (I despise) if you are not looking at, or overly conscious of, the rib/bead ? Why would you despise it if you are oblivious of it? Obviously you are not.

It makes a difference to the subconscious. If it did not the best shooters in the world would not be using raised flat ribs.

The things I mentioned are jarring to me. I can't ignore a Cutts Compensator, a glow pipe, or a mid bead. I can ignore a rib, and, a plain bead, usually.

Any of the worlds best shooters using a Cutts these days?

Does Purdey or Boss include a glow pipe with the new doubles it sells?

Not sure, but, I may not be alone.

Best,
Ted
