I think it might be how it fits you. In 1966 I bought a 101 30" 12ga field gun 2 3/4" F&F and put over a quarter million shells through it shooting international trap and after I retired opened the chokes and used it to shoot live birds at hunt tests. I liked it so much I bought another one with 26" barrels and had them opened to sk & sk for skeet shooting and grouse(I've been shooting it for 50 yrs).

I can't shoot a 686 for beans but a Superpose Lightning works great.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.
