There's the tradition and history of the SXS; the Anglo and European craftsmen plying their hand crafts. Or the American manufacturer trying to meld the familiar with a wild new world. I think there's something in some of our genes beyond our volition that pulls us towards the past and I'll not argue it. The most fruitless discussion one can ever have is which type of shotgun is best. The only answer is it's the one you enjoy shooting the most. Anything else is just meaningless chatter. Me? I hate change. Heck, I still use Hoppes #9 cause it just smells like it always has....for my 70 years.
