Guy in my camp has one. He got it about midway through this past year. I shot it and it felt good. The only issue he had was the safety froze up one time. He fixed it while we were standing in the timber so I don't know if that was him or the gun. He goes a lot an shoots a lot. He said he liked it better than his SBE II

I liked the way they handle just personally didn't see it for the price tag. Its kinda gotten like they say well they paid 1400 for the last gun we made lets see if they will pay 1600 for this one. I also wonder the reason it doesnt shoot 3.5.

Just like the person above me said, the new models do shoot 3.5, I have one on the way. Also I have not seen them for $1600. I made the mistake of not buying a 3 inch in Duckblind a month ago and it was $1350.
