I have owned a Perazzi and a Valmet with ported barrels. Never again ...... never. Many comp sporting guns were ported on the bottom barrel only. Reason supposedly being that the bottom barrel is fired first by most people, and if it was ported properly it would not rise as much as a non-ported barrel, allowing shooter to get on second bird a hair quicker. It is all theory, IMO, and no fact. Another way to try to buy Xs. I don't even like trapping for a shooter using a ported barrel, unless I'm standing behind him .......... and I'm wearing custom made, fitted earplugs.
