pluckit, if you shot better than me at the range I would say good job and if I out shot you at the range I wouldn't necessarily say it was because you had a cheaper gun. I remember my first shotgun was just an old single shot that cost about 90 bucks because it was all I could afford. Not much to look at but when rabbit season rolled around I took plenty and usually more than some of the guys with expensive autoloaders in our group. I guess my point in my previous post is that for me it is not all about accuracy even though that is very important. I like everything about the gun to be quality and good. I don't mean to offend but I just have no interest in a cheap gun even if it does shoot along with a higher quality one. I like to buy the best that I can afford.

bronko22000, I absolutley agree with you on the stock. To me there is nothing like the looks and feel of wood but I found for me personally that when I have a fine piece of wood for a stock I get paranoid about getting even the slightest nick or scratch on it. So this of course doesn't allow me to enjoy the gun as to how I think I should.
