I like the cantilever design. I used 870 and 1187 and have a browning gold with it.
But its a weak design. I just saw my buddies mossberg that shore sportsman on Kent island mounted a scope. Looks like they pushed down too hard while screwing and bent it.
Reciever based is stronger, but you don't want to disassemble the gun for that.
