I'm in the "I don't get it" camp too. I'll ask questions, not to argue but to learn something. I think my bias will show through but I can be persuaded.
Why do the barrels need to be regulated? If they are exactly parallel the center of the patterns should be less than an inch different. That's not much at 20 yards and shotguns are typically patterned using a 30" circle.
Why are the cheapies clumsy and unbalanced? The stocks are pieces of wood. They can be machined carved in the same shapes as the fine handling, expensive guns just as easily as not. Just put the proper dimensions in the CNC machines, correct?
I actually don't care for fancy engraving. It certainly doesn't affect function. Are there high quality O/U's that don't have the "bling"?
I understand good looking wood costs money and I get pride of ownership. I'm not putting it down at all but what breaks on the cheapies that doesn't break on the expensive ones?
What is it about the expensive models that allows you to break targets that the cheapies miss?
Thanks for any input.
I'm currently using my Mossberg 500 pump breaking clays in the "back 40" and at my range. I'm learning the sport and discovering the limitations of my Mossberg and thinking about my next move.
