I have an SO 12g. Beautiful gun. Handles well and shoots where I'm looking. I shoot a LOT of sporting clays with it and never had any problems. If you are considering a DeHann, ask for a trigger job. Spoke to Mark, who's very helpful BTW, and he said their triggers are appx 6 1/2 lbs. I asked for 4 1/2 for each and he said no problem, and better yet, no extra charge!!! I can't afford a Fox, Winchester or Elsie, so this gun worked for me. I shot a Stevens 16g (Chicopee Falls, MA) that was my Pappy's favorite gun, for years. It was time for something else, and the Dehann filled the bill. You'll be pleased. Good shooting, and BTW, Merry Christmas!!!
