Have several acquaintances and some friends with cabinets full of "bests". To a man they all hunt with autos citing vintage fatigue or recoil as the cause.
I can see their point but cannot bring myself to opt for an auto, too many procedures in loading and unloading. An old Citori with a custom stock solved the "polyguny" problem for me. It must be a good one, the most frequent comment it elicits is "do you want to sell it?". Nope! It is mine more than any gun I have ever owned. I Own it, not the other way round, and that is a good feeling.
