i have just recently purchased that shotgun and yes it is a wonderfull piece. i have always used a 1300 pump by winchester and don't get me wrong i love my new beretta extrema 2 but for the money not worth it. do you really need to shoot that fast and you can leagly only carry three in the gun anyway. I find it a joy to shoot and wonderfull at the clay's but for hunting the reall reason is the 3. 5 inch shells is will throw out at big geese or ducks. overall best auto shotgun on the market in my opinion but if i didn't have extra doe lying around for a gun i would say much better investments can be made for a shotgun.
