that is good SC!
hahaha
I always bring a backup gun too even if it is a "relatively short" trip. just some added piece of mind in case that bastard Murphy shows up
I like the look of the clean barrel, but when I ordered mine, I admit i didn't even think of that as an option. I do like the idea that I could trap the irons on though if I felt inclined too.
If you plan on keeping it forever i would do like Gary said though, because you are the only person you need to please with it.
I like the quote from David Petzal I once read... "Life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun"
