Ok..
so I decided to buy myself a shotgun, picked up a Mossy 590 with the 20" Tube and 8+1 round magazine.
while I was at the shop on a total Impulse I took a look at the Stevens 350 with Ghostring sights they had there. these are a Chinese 95% copy of the Ithaca Model 37 sold by savage/stevens with savage providing the warranty. they are pretty "affordable"
they wanted 250 for it (remember folks I live on an Island - betcha you can find one on the mainland cheaper)
this gun has a 18" barrel, Not bad GR rifle sights, and a 5 +1 capacity Mag.
bottom feed/eject (good for my southpaw wife...)
what caught my attention is it fit my hand and shouldered really well.
it felt really "handy" and the pump action was pretty smooth.
the trigger is pretty heavy - but for a HD type gun, this isn't a bad thing. it's all steel so it weighs as much as my new 590 with 2" more barrel and 4" of extra Mag tube. it has a pretty heavy duty Matte black finish, with black plastic furniture.
anyway - I bought the damn thing with the intention of using it as my Bedroom gun, provided it runs good.
