Quote: Personal opinion of course but I not only prefer beavertail forends but think splinter types are lacking in esthetic appeal. In fact I think they are downright UGLI on either a shotgun OR a rifle. Don't really grasp the logic of grasping the barrels. As I say PERSONAL opinion.
Different tastes. I prefer the splinter fore-end for looks.
Beaver tail fore-ends are often made for the US market at least in the shotgun market.
