The biggest change for me is that I used to hate cheek piece stocks. I really hated the way they looked. I wouldn't give the gun a second look if it had one. My mind changed when I ran across a 20 gauge Sauer. I really liked the way it handled. I purchased the gun and can honestly say that it is one of my favorite guns. This gun also changed my opinion of sling swivels also. I tried it out and I really like a sling on the gun! My newest obsession is sliding breach guns. I ran across a 16 gauge Halifax and loved the way it handled. It was in very sad shape so I didn't buy it. I really think I need to find one! Hope I can dig one up in the new year!
