I may be close to the average North American shotgun shooter, influenced by peers and consumerism, of a craft not known for its business acumen. In the beginning, it was enough to have a shotgun and it was mostly doubles then. I bought one of the first Winchester Model 50s in Canada, then 1100s and went back to doubles because I didn't like the mechanical clickety-clacks. Doubles seemed more a part of me. What we read and what experts say are a powerful influences on our preferences. My guess is the poll reflects that---and maybe age (Fox and Elsie) as we go to smaller gauges. Parker placement is a puzzle. I don't consider the Browning or Winchester as classics.
