How many times have you ever truly needed that third shot? Thinking about going to an O/U for all my hunting. Could you?
Want vs. Need, in my opinion. I hunt mainly with O/U or SxS 16s these days. Do have a pump and an autoloader. There have been times when I've had opportunity to shoot a third round, and have been caught with an empty gun as a result of my choices. Where I hunt, most of my quarry has a 3 bird limit anyhow. As much as I appreciate being able to take a double or triple (and I have), I want my days afield to last a bit longer.....
