Growing up in the 50's and 60's in my end of GA, the dove shoots were crowded with Browning A-5s and Remington model 11s. I shot pumpguns until my 40's, but always loved the sxs guns. My 1st was a Fox model B. It was a 12ga with vent rib and absolutely no balance. It almost turned me off on sxs guns until I traded into a 20ga Elsie...Geo
