I' ve had one since they first came out and it has served me well. I purchased another one 2 seasons ago and gave my first one to my wife. We' ve both had good success with them. I' ve heard lots of stories but haven' t had any problems with either of ours yet. They both shoot really well.

I' ve had one for the last four seasons and have no complaints.[8D]

Have had one since the first year they where avalible.No problems but put an after market choke in, super tight patter now.Gun is light so with 3 1/2' s it kicks like a mule,but when i,m putting the miles on looking for a bird you won' t hear me complain.

I have one and enjoy shooting it. I mainly only use 3" shells for turkey hunting so it isn' t that bad. But when it comes to turkeys there is only supposed to be 1 shot and when the biord is there you do not pay any attention to the recoil:D

I bought the first one I saw in a store somewhere around 10 to 12 year' s ago, and knock on wood I haven' t had any problem' s out of it. I have taken a number of duck' s, to great to count, shooting 3 inch steel and geese also using 3 inch and 3 1/2 inch streel. I even took my first Turkey with it, using the xxfull choke it came with, he was 41 yards from me and I was using winchester 2 3/4 #6' s. I decided not to shot 3 inch or the 3 1/2 at Turkey' s, why should I let a gun(any gun) kick me when shooting 2 3/4 inch does the trick, there were thousands taken with the 2 3/4 before a 3 inch or 3 1/2 were ever sold.

Just my .02 cent' s worth.

I bought a used one at a gun show---put a Hastings choke in it---mounted a Simmons 2X ProDiamond scope on it. I shoot 3.5 inch number 4 Winchester HV. I wouldn' t trade it. A real turkey thumper. The only time you feel the recoil is when you are patterning---otherwise you never feel it when a longbeard is squarely in the scope.

The down side is that it is a bit heavy and the fore are rattles. But I have been turkey hunting for three years and have taken 8 with this shotgun. I see no need to look elsewhere.
