IAC 87 Shotgun

Finally got to see one today at my local shop. Oh, I like this little Chinese import! Question is, how does it handle and more importantly, how well does it hold up? Price is a little steep. Anyone own one? Thanks.

I've found it to be a handy shotty for pigs and close quarters hunting, as we can't own a semi in oz it's probably the next best thing. it works and handles nicely for me

regards

Jim

I have seen a few at cowboy shoots and they are a crude gun. There is not much choice if you like that kind of gun. I would not own one but you might like it given the choices available.

Yes I own one and have used it in a couple of Cowboy action shoots. It was a little stiff at first but it has gotten better. The only thing is that you cant baby the lever action but need to make sure you get the full stroke.
