It is what it is, a relatively inexpensive utility/starter SxS.
We complain about our heritage dying out, lack of interest from younger generations in double-guns, lack of involvement or interest in hunting, and then complain or pick it apart when a company markets an entry-level, inexpensive SxS that young and newer shooters can afford.
And yes, some vintage guns can be found for less, but they are also not steel shot rated, do not have screw-in chokes, or can take most modern loads found at Cabela's or Sportsman's Warehouse. All things the young ones want and/or look for.
