Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Value of a vented rib?

When I shoot, I couldn't tell you if I use a rib or not! I'm more of an instinct shooter. Point and bang. It's worked for me for 50+ years.
I love the looks of a ventilated rib on shotguns. All shotguns, except I do not like a vent rib on a Double Barrel/SXS shotgun or on a Winchester Model 42. To me, those need a solid rib.
I'm all about the looks of a classy shotgun!
