[QUOTE="Frog4aday, post: 1760102, member: 9308"] Hallelujah and thank you for saying it. I've been an advocate for "plain" barrels for years. These "fiber optic" glowing red and green 'beads' are exactly what we [B]don't[/B] need on a shotgun barrel. If you are looking at those, and seeing those, you aren't focusing/seeing the right thing (the target.) We shoot best when there is nothing on the barrel to distract us. "Learned" this on the trap range one night. The gold bead went missing on my Rem 870 plain barrel (no vent rib) just before a league shoot. No time to get a new one put on so that's how it got shot that night. And...I broke my first perfect round without it. Bead? We don't need no stinking bead! Lesson learned. Cheek on the stock, eye on the target, and trust yourself...works great. For what it is worth, I love a SxS for rabbits and low flying game (quail and pheasants.) But I prefer an O/U for higher flying game (waterfowl and doves.) I know...it makes no sense but that's just how it works out for me. Whatever shotgun that will make you happy is the one to get. If the side-by-side brings you pleasant memories of Jed Clampett, then get that and enjoy it. It's all good. [/QUOTE]
