It's like ultimate performance with automobiles. When I was into that, a 0.001" carburetor jet change might make a 0.2 mile per hour speed change. Was it worth it?

10ga guns aren't popular, 12ga guns are. You put your marketing money where you think it will do the most good. How much stuff can you really do to a gun to make it better? Thus, back bored guns show up on the scene. They make claims and we buy guns. The world goes around. It really doesn't matter to me. I have guns with bores of .729", .740" and .742".

I was actually going to post about a single shot 870. My good freinds fiance shoots trap and told me she had a single shot 870. I didn't believe her and told my buddy that his woman was smoking crack i guess I owe him an apology.
