I've got to take exception to that statement. I hang with the target shooting crowd. I've held positions both local and national with the NSCA and talk with a lot of shooters. The majority of the shooters I know have a collection of shotguns including numerous SXS's that would be the envy of a lot of folks here.


All the target shooters I know have dozens, in some cases dozens of dozens, of guns. And many of them extremely collectible as well as shootable. SxS's figure prominently in many of those collections.

Personally, I haven't been squirrel hunting since Wednesday.

I guess I am not so glum about the future of shotguns with properly oriented barrels as many here. But if there is a decline in progress, that means, more and cheaper guns to choose from. I am good with that too.
