Perfectly fit, well balanced, and with beautiful engraving. I've owned my 16 gauge XE for many years and it is a very well made gun. I visited Tony at his factory and saw the guns being made. It was worth the plane fare.
If you are going to get one, order one with your own specifications. I had my dog engraved on the bottom of the receiver, and the gun was made to be under 6 lbs. with 29 inch barrels -- just as I requested.
