B guns etc

Actually Fab's analogy wasn't very good. A better analogy would be... When you need a lawyer would you try to find a new attorney who deals in criminal law take a case concerning business law...or would you hire Fabs who deals in business law quite a bit. Actually the majority of hunters out there are using the 870 and 1100-11-87 guns. In the blind today there were 8 of us...4 had 11-87's 1 had an 870...1 had a Mossberg 835 and 2 had SBE Benelli's. The B guns sell pretty well but consider that there are more than 6 MILLION 870's out there and almost 3 MILLION 1100-11-87's. One of the reasons for those numbers is they have been around longer...but the main one is that the 870 and 11-87 guns are fairly reliable and are much cheaper to buy.. BTW the only problem with any of the guns today was with one of the Benelli's. (failure to feed) So they all mess up at one time or another. BTW we shot 16 geese in this order 2 tolled...both stayed. one tolled and stayed...5 tolled 5 stayed one tolled and stayed 4 tolled and stayed 2 came and stayed and one swung the edge and stayed anyway. There was a total of 24 shots fired..including crippled shells. So the guns all seemed to work ok. People actually buy the guns they hear the most of and what they can afford. The B guns are good ones of course..but so are most of the others.....even the (gag) Brownings(gag) I consider a Browning a G gun..hehehehe All are overpriced..and I shoot a Krieghoff..duh!!
