Thanks guys. Generally affirms what I figured. I am content with the decision. I'll shoot one sooner or later, but I won't keep it, and I won't loose sleep if I'm shooting something else in the meantime. I neither love the 21 or hate them just feel like I oughta have tried one. Like women and bird dogs you have your own taste in guns and no one else will feel exactly the same about any of them. Truth of the matter is I keep a clean Stevens 5100 amongst the rest of the fine guns because it's stories are just as good as theirs are. They've all been somewhere and done something and that's the best part for me.
