I have looked at them in the gun shop and they seem pretty nice for the money. I'm no gunsmith though. I have not shot one however. I can say that I belong to more than a few gun forums and have actually done a search on these rifles and I have never heard anything bad about them.

Normally when you don't hear much about a product that is a good thing. Most people don't speak up unless they want to bitch about something. If people were talking trash about them it would show up on a search. Do a search for the Remington 710 then one on the stevens and then another on the mossbergs. You will see what I mean. You will see some people defending the 710, but you will also see plenty saying what a piece of crap it is. You will find very little if any bad press on the stevens and mossberg guns.

If you get one let us know how you like it.
