2nd update... As per Pepp's request...
Gun shoots great. Had a few hang ups towards the end of shooting where the next round wouldn't feed up and would stay "in the belly" under the bolt. I've read the gun sometimes has issues cycling 2 3/4" shells because of the inertia system.
I was very happy with my shot to "kill" ratio considering its been 25+ years since I shot a shotgun. Nailed the first 2 inbound shots. Then started sending a simultaneous inbound and outbound pair then a rabbit if I was successful with taking down the 2 birds. I'd never had success shooting rabbits way back when but I nailed quite a few of them today.
Shoulder is pretty sore. Not used to the abuse of a 12ga, even with only 2 3/4" shells. And three boxes did me in. Feeling better now though.
Overall, I loved it. I'll be out there Wednesday to embarrass myself in front of all the older range officers.

Great gun. Had mine since 2010. No hiccups. 26" Max 5. I've never shot less than 1 oz. loads. Butt stock has come a little loose, but that's an easy fix. Outshot several fancy schmancy guns at a benefit shoot one time. Picked it up for $350 new ($400 with shipping and FFL transfer). It was a damn steal.
