I long wanted a Model 97 as two of my research interests, Ansley H. Fox and Harold B. Money (De Shootinest Gent'man), spent time shucking them for the Big W. Finally got a high condition, late, 1003775, 12-gauge 30-inch full. I shot it a few times and found it required much more precise pumping than one can get away with with a Model 12/42 or Remington Model 31. Pretty quickly traded it off on a Superposed.
