I have a good friend who has bought a couple of these in the past year or so. They appear to be very well made, if not plain (I assume they are "field" grades). They are very lightweight and would seem nice to carry in the field. The only drawback I see is that if you shoot clays with them (and my friend has) their light weight along with a goodly amount of drop in the stock and the all steel buttplate will beat you up pretty bad. This, of course could be remedied a lot by picking one with a fairly straight (little drop) stock, adding a recoil pad and shooting the appropriate loads. Be sure to check the chamber lengths!
