My main gripe is that I wish there were unique event prize skins for tournament winnings and not the the only premium versions of some guns as the prize. Will the 10g ever receive a purchasable premium after this? Yea Im salty, I love the gun but not $40 for a 100% sure win sort of love.
Yes it is salty man - Normally I would, but since they changed the way HS works, I buy one and that's it. Although the special event ones, such as this, never had their own achievements it didn't matter but in general re-skins did. Whether it's ever available? It's the tradition it never will be and I hope it stays true to it's namesake. But today, new people, new thoughts, they can change anything they want at any time they want. I wouldn't risk more than a quarter on a bet.

I love the 10 GA for its killing power at range. It drops a buck at 50m+ np, which is not guaranteed with a 12 GA. It can even drop a goose at 70m. Ok, you might not like it, but it is not trash!
I think he's being sarcastic
~ he knows it's not trash. I also like the F3, great gun. The SXS I suck with, not one I trust myself relying on. But most people are probably using the 10 a lot because they are maxed out on HS points for everything else and it's the latest, pretty normal stuff. As for practicality and real usage in the field, hell no- at least for here in the US, I always knew of them to be strictly a long range goose gun, nothing more. No one hunted with them at least not in mainstream numbers. Marlin has, or did at least make a bolt action 10ga and I want to say, 36" maybe even 40" barrel? With the 3" and 3.5" 12g chambers today I don't know why you'd want to abuse yourself like that. but having the "Terminator" lever action, I can see why gamers would dig it.
I agree 100% we need a new 12g auto- been on that boat for years - it will happen someday. It's a money in the bank absolute if they get in a pinch and need to meet a sales goal or something. Selling reskins is about pointless anymore since HS2.0 - no one has complained about them since
