i have the 695 also, shoots great, looks like crap. i consider it my sitting gun, too heavy and awkward to carry with a scope mounted on it. also found that the safety was a pain in the rear. i quit using it a few years ago and went with a 20 guage browning pump, seems to kill them just as dead as anything else i shoot. by the way, they had a recall on the 695 a few years back, something to do with safety i think.
