Anyone else enjoy shooting with a high rib on your SxS? Perhaps a sin to purists, but I find I shoot much better with the high ribs such as was imported in the past by SKB. Am I the only one to confess? I really enjoy shooting clays with my 28 and 410.

For targets, I can see how a higher rib on a SxS might be useful. It might be a function of aging vision, but I seem to hit better on targets with a clearly defined sighting plane.

I won't buy a gun without a rib. I suggested to someone on here several months ago that when they bought a specific gun they should try to get one with a rib. That was just my opinion. They told me they don't need a rib on a gun that you're supposed to look at the target and not the gun. I always felt that your peripheral vision was lining up SOMETHING with the target. Whether it is a bead, the barrel, a rib, etc. So I like having a rib. I know I will get a lot of slack for saying it again, but oh well. I like seeing a rib when I point my gun at a target. Good luck.

No swamped ribs for me either. A 21 with a vent rib was always my dream gun.
My wife lets me buy all the guns I can hide.

Not a popular configuration, but it works for me. UA 215, vent rib, single trigger, BT forearm.

A game rib works just fine shooting rough (or Ruff?) for me, but on targets the sighting plane of a taller rib seems to offer some advantages. That smaller clay target moving fast (and at greater distances) seems to require something of a more "precise" nature. Blasphemy....I know.

High, flat, file cut ribs for me. The wider the better. I don't care for sunken, deeply concave ribs.
May God bless America and those who defend her.
