RP, I dont have one but have heard their decent on the shotgun forums. If I were buying new Id rather the Remmy, but you certainly didnt do bad with your purchase given the current climate.

OTOH, you have the perfect platform for a budget SBS if you are so inclined.

After a quick search to find a review or two. It looks like a good gun. Like RBW said, perfect candidate for SBS! The low entry cost lets you get into a SBS configuration without sinking a baot load of money into the equation when you add the $200 tax stamp.

The tang safety is a nice move from the button assuming you keep it on a standard stock. If you go to a pistol grip stock... that all goes out the window and the button is much better. I have an 870 and I absolutely L O V E it. LOVE it love it. I'm so glad I got it. So I think you are going to like this shotgun quite a bit considering its basically an 870.

well unfortunately the 870 stuff doesnt fit it , lol. already bought a side saddle and it didnt fit, but i got it to work anyways (industrial double sided tape). i also ordered a tactical sling and a pressure switch stream light and mount .
