I've got one and the price is the only thing that I didn't like about it. But, you'll pay that and probably more for a comparable shotgun, so I guess its not really that bad. Anyway, its patterned well with everything that I've put through it. I've "landed" on Federal Premium 3-inchers with 2oz shot # 5's. If you decide to get one, check out www.edscontenders.com or call him at 405-879-0879 I've bought several barrels from him is he's as cheap as I've found and is a fine fellow.
