Im glad to see we are discussing this as opposed to arguing. I think we can agree Traditional regulation is best. The quest then becomes what other options are acceptable. I for one would rather have a dremeled regulation that works instead of a Biakal "jack screw"; but I suppose thats a personal question. Its all a matter of "if it works".

I had a Biakal. It worked but it just didnt feel right to me as I was wanting a traditional (read that as expensive) DR. Somehow I didnt mind the Valmet version, lets call that me being a gun snob. Honestly I was thrilled about the gap between the Valmet barrels; but I did note that Valmet made a "spacer" that filled the gap. More to the point I could never really love the Biakals. I always looked at them as a AK to be used in the worst conditions.

I cant say about shotgun regulation. I have had SxS's that shoot slugs almost to point of aim and a single shot that couldnt hit a target at 25 yards. I have a 20ga SxS that I jokingly refer to as a Paradox because its a spot on slug shooter out to 50m, even though its a smooth bore. I invested in two laser bore sighters to to adjust the express sights that I had a gunsmith add. Its a Hog Slayer for sure. No dougbt its a lucky fluke; but Im happy with the results.

Best
