wasn't the whole reason the o&u was designed was to keep the birds from hiding under the bbls?
I know many who use to cant their sbs's to see what going on under there then level out before the shot.
granted, sbs's may be classics and fun to shoot, but the o&u was obviously designed and created to eliminate a flaw in a sbs's design.
the result?
by ww2's end......sbs's were like the steam locomotive giving way to the diesel.
and you know yourselves, people love to ride the old steam trains restored and still in use. and so too, people shoot sbs's.
but I guarantee youre not going to find a steam train doing a cross country....nor will you see a sbs on the line for huge payouts at sanctioned shoots.
if you do, you should tip your hat to the shooters who do it, out of love and affection for the gun.
