I used to have one, I believe that it was a Savage marked as a Sears. It was a 12 gauge that took a 3 shot clip. It worked pretty good, kicked like a sucker. I am sure that a newer one would work a bit nicer, probably not kick quite as bad, but the bolt action in general worked just fine on mine. The benefit to having a pump is when you are skeet shooting you can reload considerably faster.
