I love mine. It's a little fancier than what I really need- but it sure does seem like I got a whole lot more shotgun than what I paid for.

Besides the cosmetics- there are a few options you can consider. The Delux has a soft recoil pad and screw in chokes (I think they are the same as Invectors???). The standard models come with IC/M non-screw-in chokes and a hard plastic buttplate. They all have 3" chambers. And, the shotgun's stiffness was pretty much a done deal and gone after firing 2 boxes of 50.

A buddy of mine bought a Baikal (sp?) just before I bought the Stoeger. Not even 1000 rnds has passed through his and now it is unsafe to fire due to screws pulling out from mis-driling and tapping... and general poor craftsmanship.
