I'm curious what's the consensus of vent ribs on doubles?

For a field gun, not so much.
For a Skeet gun, I kinda like it.

I think vent ribs are unnecessary unless they are on a target gun where directing heat to each side is really useful. I have never shot a gun so much as to find that necessary but I don't live in a hot climate or shoot that many rounds all at once. Some guns look good with them, like that 21. I have two SXSs with raised ribs and on the twenty gauge, looking down the rib, or down at it, you could easily think you were shooting an over-under, but then you're not supposed to do that.

Personal choice like blonds or brunettes. But I highly recommend you stay away from redheads, both natural and fake. I do not like high ribs on the small gauge SKB doubles. The 21 looks fine but again it is just what you like.

I don’t think it matters all that much. You are not supposed to ever look at the rib when shooting…only look at the target. My Browning super I hunt with is ventilated. The only bother is little twigs, etc get stuck under the rib so you have to clean it. I’d rather my hunters have solid ribs.


Socialism is almost the worst.

I have one "Perfect Repeater " with a raised milled rib, my Pigeon Grade M12 Trapgun mfg. 1946 era. I have 4 M12's with the solid matted rib- (1) 3" Heavy Duck 30" F-- 28" field grade Mod. choke, 20 gauge 28" Mod and a 28 ga. Field Mod. choke. I only have 1 remaining WRA pumpgun with a plain barrel for comparison- M25 28" Full--This is my Numero Uno "Barnyard gun" the one I load up fully with Express No. 6 for evening CQC with raccoons, fox, woodchuck, even coyotes- from point blank out to a measure 38 yards distance, thatWRA pump with either No. 6 chill or 00 buckshot is devastating, and like all WRA pumpgun made prior to 1964, 100% reliable. And outside of that Full choked M25, the Pigeon Grade Trap has the tightest patterning Full choke in a 12 bore scattergun I have ever shot. RWTF

So Bob, after the last post, can we ask Dave for a "Do not like" button to push. I would vote for such a button with so many pushes of that button to eliminate a poster for a certain number of days. It would also work for Ed.

No, it is just that I never seem to think of a side-by-side with a raised ventilated rib, just on over=unders, pumps, semi-autoloaders, and SBT's. A raised VR is essential on a square back Browning A-5, IMO-and, son of a gun, I have one- Briley choked 12 gauge. W/) the rib and the ramp (requ'd to allow for the recoiling battery action of the A-5..My point being, I can't speak to the "advantages" of ribbed barrels on M12's (my vade mecum of all shotguns) as except for the M25, all my "working" shotguns are M12's. I have yet tot shoot, any side-by-side with a raised ventilated rib in the past few years. RWTF
