Anyone with an informed opinion regarding the straight-grip double trigger version?

Handled one at the Gander Mountain near me about a week ago. Was very suprised at how well it pointed and handled. I think it's a bit over priced but seems to be a pretty nice gun.

Had the chance to handle one in a gun store a few days ago. A decent gun though it seemed like high price considering the quality. But the immediate and lasting impression was HEAVY, especially for a 20 gauge.

I checked out a 20 ga. about a month ago at a local gun shop, and I was not terribly impressed. Yes, it seemed solidly built and well made. But the finish on the receiver did not appeal to my taste, and--as stated by granby--the gun is VERY HEAVY in this gauge.

They sell for $2500 at my gunshop, which seems about $500-$700 too much. I would consider a 12 ga. for doves and waterfowl if I could find one for that price.
