I have 2 - 1300' s one is about 30 years old 2 3/4(was my dad' s gun) and the other was my first 12 ga 3" about 17 years old. Both have been excellent. They see less action now, since i primary goose hunt, but still make it out for the odd duck or upland hunt. The oldest one is still my favorite, maybe because it is an heir loom or mystique.
