I'll bring it down Daryl. I agree, the MX8 is a bit livelier. Craig, the Perazzi are all made to order. No two are alike. When I got mine fitted it included the usual drop, cast, pitch, LOP etc. But you have the choice of like 26 fore ends, rib style, height, bead type, palm swell size, and the placement of the trigger so when you mount the gun your index finger lays exactly where it should be, as you like it. I have shot lights out with it, and then stunk up the bed when the 6" between my ears kicks in. So it's not magic, but they sure as hell recoil nice. I have fixed chokes and will never buy another gun with choke tubes if I can avoid it. My favorite shell, if I can even find them anymore, are Clever Mirage 7/8 oz 1300fps. Recoil very light and absolutely powder targets at any distance. All in all, when you consider you had a gun made FOR YOU for about $14,000 it's a good deal. I've been through a lot of other guns and would have been smarter doing this ten years ago. The other unmentioned thing is the incredible number of parts and stocks available and support, and the fact they hold their value so well. Congrats Frank!
