The H&R Excell 5 and the Verona SX405 are the same gun (confirmed by Marlin). I had to replace the magazine follower in mine due to sticking (and causing the action to jam.) Also, the action release button is kinda finicky on mine (you have to push the button on the side to load the magazine, just like the old A5's.) Other than that, its worked well so far. It's my bad weather waterfowler.
