It is combination of things not perception of 'your grampa's shotgun' alone. Last quality affordable modern sporting SxS shotguns were the SKB 385, SKB 485 series. Fine mass produced SxS guns with modern features equal to BSS Grade II BLE. Problems were SKB unlike Beretta or Browning is not particularly popular they were heaver than typical game gun and made in Japan. Young people did not want "grampa's shotgun' and older folks who served or had their parent(s) serve at Pearl Harbor, Leyte Gulf, Okinawa,......could not warm up to them.
JM, have you been on the inside when the technological development and marketing schemes for ground-breaking, game changing consumer products have been created? Have you had to compete in business against the same? I have. I'm talking about athletic shoes, golf equipment, tennis racquets, downhill ski gear. I've been on the inside while all theses industries were turned upside down by new technologies and/or the very best marketing money can buy.
People are people and the vast majority are susceptible to the same things. Nothing special about guns or hunters/sport shooters.
You don't know what the shit you are talking about and you say stuff just to add to your post count.
