I got the same reactions from my buddies in the goose pits who are of the Benelli/3�" steel magnum mind set who wouldn't believe that old school technology or small gauges could compete. Even after about 10 seasons of dis-proving that, they still believe in the infallibility of their theory. Too much watching 'hunting' shows on TV, or too much belief in the marketing ploys of the big manufacturers I suppose, and not enough daring to be different and trying it for themselves.
