Our Assessment: What a beautiful shotgun. Almost too flashy to take into the field hunting… Almost. We bet that just unboxing this beauty with cause the birds to drop from the sky and clays will turn to dust before they even leave the thrower. Of course, that would be awesome and disappointing at the same time… because you really want to shoot this gun. This writer owns a similar model for dove, pigeon, quail, Turkey, and sporting clays (just about everything that flies) and has gone through thousands for rounds without having to replace a single part. With regular maintenance, this gun will easily become a favorite. It is amazing how much recoil is absorbed and managed by this action. No sportsman or woman will be disappointed in owning this gun.
