I hunted with one for the first 10 years or so I hunted. The key is cleanliness. Keep em clean and they wont let you down. I still see guys using them things by the truckloads. I agree with 180..its still the best shouldering gun I have hunted with...and i did grow up shooting an 870 Tack drivers they aint..but mine were all reasonably accurate. Theres a reason there are millions of them in use....
