SWEEEEEEETTTTTTTTT Score. I was in Dicks yesterday looking at bags, and one can never not help themselves from going and looking at the rack. As I am looking, they are stocking Guns, and they put this one out. I had been looking at a good Tactical shotgun for the Home Defense collection. And this just happens to pop into the Radar.

 

Pistol Grip - Rear Ghost Ring Sites - Front Fiber Optic - Extended Slide - Barrel Heat Shield

 

I hava a photo album here. Not great pics, but you can get the hint. http://s1067.photobu...p%2012%20Gauge/

 

Here are the specs from the manufacture.

I had been looking at Mossbergs, and wanted this style configuration for the house. And that was looking to be between 550 - 650. Didn't fully price it out. But here is what was so nice about this particular gun. EVERYTHING i wanted, right out of the box... All for .....

 

 

I took pictures of the SKU number, it is in the album, in case anybody is interested in seeing if Dicks can order you one...

PS. SMILE AND SAY CHEEEEESSSSEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!

 

I like it and love the price. Is there room for a light?

I have seen some aftermarket pieces, where you can replace the end cap with a unit that fits a light. Just picked it up yesterday, so, have not investigated it fully yet. I do want to install a sling that carries extra ammo, so have to find the best of both. But from what I see, yes, there is room to mount a light.

Very nice!!

I just sold my shotgun this week, cause it just sat there gathering dust, now I'm like "hmmmm...I could use that!"

I already have a Mossy 500, but, MAN, that price is sooo tempting. Let us know how it feels and shoots.

Looks Good, nice price. We need a range report.

Not sure if my local range (shore shot pistol) will allow it. Have to call to find out. Any members of Old Bridge or Central Jersey want to invite a guest??

Shore shot will allow buck and slug, no bird.

That's sexy may pick up one up

your welcome

Its made in China and that is an issue to some.

 

If the gun is as well made as the NEF Pardner Pump (Chinese 870 copy) it should sell well. I'll take 90% of the quality for 50% of the price.

I thought the Savage shotguns where made in Turkey or something. I stand corrected, AGAIN.

Low-cost pump shotgun alternatives to traditional Remington & Mossberg offerings are:

 

* Interstate Arms GA Defender - made in China

* H&R Pardner Protector - made in China

* Stevens 320 - made in China

* Weatherby PA-08 - made in Turkey

* Winchester 1300 - made in Turkey

Shame on Winchester. The 1300 was a great American made shotgun.

 

Parker, where are the Benelli's made?

Benelli's are made in Urbino, Italy; by robots!

Thanks, I wasn't sure if they were assembled here or overseas.

Not all benellis! Get the facts right please! I own 6 and am a benelli fanatic!

I'm pretty sure Benelli's are all imported. If you know of any plant in the U.S. building Benelli's from scratch, I'm unaware of such so I'm curious to know which one is made here. (Doesn't the M4 consist of Italian parts rebuilt here in the U.S.?) Possibly the models you are referring to are assembled here with parts imported from Italy? The Benelli USA facility in Pocomoke, MD is where shotguns that are manufactured in Italy arrive for distribution throughout the U.S. Pocomoke also serves as the warranty facility for service and repairs for Benelli. Stoeger Industries, part of the Beretta Benelli group, is also located at the Pocomoke, MD location and performs the same functions for the Stoeger firearms division, which are made in Turkey.

 

I think I have my facts right.

Ok, So I have to admit. When I saw it coming out onto the rack. And it was everything I was looking for in a "Home Defense" Shotgun, which will most likely sit in my closet and not get used, except for some range practice (I hope). Did not think about where it was made. BUTTTTTTT that being said, I will let you know later this week how the chinese did in putting it together. At first appearance, everything seams to be pretty solid. But lets see what it is like after a hundred rounds or so...

As long as you're happy with it and it works for you, that's a good thing.

hey, if your happy then so be it

 

I would still recommend a Remmy or Mossy as a primary HD gun, but others here trust their lives with economy guns like this.

Didn't know savage was sold. They have always had a good reputation from what I know. But I could be wrong. We shall see. Taking it to the range tomorrow.

Savage is still around. After the bankruptcy and reorganization back in the 80's, Savage settled on two lines to build upon; their .22's and the 110 bolt-action. They have expanded over the years with other offerings, opened another facility in Canada, but any shotguns today with their name on it are imported.
