Not to take anything away from the gun. Just some observations.
I think all good observations, I thought it might be restocked when I picked it up and it felt a bit thick in the grip. All things considered it is a great gun and I can't wait to work over a few pheasants with it at my buddies preserve once this sub 0 weather breaks here.
