Shotgun in the 12 gauge variety

[Intercooler]

Winchester makes an SXP which is oddly similar to the Benelli Nova. It also has a rotating bolt...

I had to make some adujustments with my first Saiga,made in 2010.Would not cycle,had feed issues.Took gas block off,only 3 gas holes.Drill press to work,4th hole in,slightly enlarged others,nothing over the top,runs fine.Target loads,Wal Mart packs,no problems.put in a lighter recoil spring,100%.2008 model all stock,runs 100%,no adjustments.

Off to check these other ones out. Concentration is on the action, features and build quality.

The local gun shop didn't really have much. Went to Dick's and got most answers needed.

Benelli has bad controls for a lefty. Felt like Tupperware.
870 also had bad controls but good action
Mossberg had lefty friendly controls and felt decent

BPS is in the running with bottom ejection and lefty controls

Took a bunch of digging to find a video with the 50126 in it. Looks good in 480P.

This is my local forum and I was shocked to find a thread in there on your suggestion. I'm reading through it now but have a look-see.

I too, read the thread (all of it, painfully), and went away with the same impression.  Most of the responses were attacking the messenger.  I thought the Linberty guy was only trying to answer questions about the weapon, and not, necessarily, pitching a product.  He was polite and offered information as factual as he could, reasonably.  All of the positive responses were by the only shooters who had actually ever placed hands on a Linberty.  I've never, but for the price, I might.  I have "disposable" guns (Saturday night specials), and don't expect more from them than I paid/traded for them.  They all function satisfactorily, and are probably the better bargains of any in my collection.  If you pay $300 for a new shotgun, and it works, it's already paid for itself.  Fit and finish are secondary.  If you insist on Beretta or Browning (or insert your brand name) competition quality, pay the price.  No different than the Glock naysayers on the GT forums.... The majority of them have never had one in their hand outside the gun shop.  You just can't compare a $500 Glock with a $2K Ed Brown.  When your EB fails and your Glock doesn't, all you'll hear is excuses (it certainly isn't EB's fault, ever).  If a Glock fails, which is really rare by comparison, all of their products are "Tupperware junk", according to some.  Toyotas last longer and are more efficient than Jaguars (which isn't really saying much, IMO).

Bud's is poor at advertising. They did a couple of videos on different models and I watched them all. Just no video on the Walnut Semi!

I agree about the attacks. It happens everywhere for some reason! He left his contact info so maybe I should drop him a note? See if I can get some actual pictures of the unit and info on field stripping it and parts availability. My other concern is whether you could get additional barrels for it should you want to use it for Deer and HD.

If you gave away 20 dollars on the internet for 10 dollars, 30% would bitch about the exchange rate.

[Intercooler]

I know. Sometimes a slight gamble pays off if you stick your neck out there a little. For what I gave for my Witness guns they are a Diamond in the rough. I always have liked trying something off the wall!

Many of Massey-Fergusens (sp?) tractors are made in Turkey....I'd think they could make a shotgun. I bought a short barrel 20 ga 870 awhile back for a little over 300.00. Nothing special about it .... just wanted one around the house. Shot a couple of snakes with it and leave it in a corner of the bedroom. Works well enough for my purposes.

Those pictures help sell me with the reviews I found at the bottom of Bud's. It has a red fiber front which I love my fiber sights. Also the butt pad and what was stated about shooting it a ton with zero effects in the review. The way the Walnut is notched I can see how that would be better than a straight up and down butt pad. Also just look at that Walnut! Bud's pictures sucks and they didn't point out what the reviewers did. Hope to have it here next week... plus 100% money back if not satisfied.

Pretty.....I'd call that highly figured wood, I can see why the guy in the other link might be disappointed. Looks like some of the old Brownings. But I make no claim to knowing anything finer shotguns.

[Intercooler]

I'm pretty excited to get this thing and see what it's made of!
