Ted has a point. The gun I shoot best is an Ithaca SKB XL300 20 ga. 3" semi that I bought for the ridiculous price of $55.00 in excellent cond. However the stock is at least 1 1/8" too short for me and with it's super light weight (aluminum bbl. and receiver) and the running start it gets at my shoulder, it actually bruises me after 25 shots at skeet. But I will consistently break 24 or 25 so I endure the bruising. I put a 1" pad on it for a while and instantly began shooting under everything, so removed it. When I go hunting though, I always take one of my doubles even though I know the best of them won't give me the success rate that SKB would. I don't care anymore than the guy who loves to drive his 6 mpg high octane muscle car vs. a more practical Prius. The SKB and a Remington pump sit idle waiting for burglars because the mere sound of the action closing is so much more attention grabbing than the "snick" of a double closing. Having 3 extra in the mag is comforting too. I say thank God we have different desires. If we all couldn't live without a Model 94 Winchester, even 7 million wouldn't be enough and the price would skyrocket.
