Speak of junk--why stop there --save up 3 or 4 times as much money and buy a real gun--you know something you can go shoot at the best skeet range and have people there go WOW that's real nice, of course you might not hunt birds with it as any little scratch could make one cry.
Having a quality gun is real nice--but calling an gun that works for the field hunter at a resonable cost JUNK is not fair--the point being all those guns you like would be considered JUNK by someone else.
I would guess millions of game birds have met the end from someone shooting a Remmington 870 or Win Model 12 or any other make of shotgun and they are not even and O/U-- come on ligthen up.
If you desire a good O/U and that will take some doing and there is only ever gonna be one in your life--sure save up and get a better grade gun--but following the dogs and enjoying the outdoors is more important than the gun you carry or the number of birds you take. IMHO :cheers:
