I imagine the vast majority of hunters don't shoot enough for these "inadequacies" to make a difference. Never even heard of "shooting out a barrel" in all the message board posts I've read until someone went looking for something bad about the 710.

You're "argument" is like suggesting that a car with 2 cup holders and 3 more horsepower is significantly better than another.

Ridiculous, but it's always fun to tweak the gun snobs.
