I don't have one but shot a 12 GA at a demo days. It fit me well and was a nice shooting gun. I wouldn't mind adding one to the safe but I think the next shotgun on my wishlist is a 6.5 lb 12 GA O/U like a Browning Citori or Cynergy Feather.
He's not talking about the original 101 made in Japan he's asking about the new Belgium made Winchester 101. The Original Win 101 is a fantastic well made gun. If the newer FN made 101 lives up to it's predecessor. It will have a great following. They are different designs and no where near the same gun.
