Stevens 320 12 ga pump shotgun

$200 for a new shotgun is a great price point. I realize they are Chinese from sun city machinery (?). They ought to be reliable enough for the occasional range duty and back up home defense? How bad could a pump gun be?

I've heard they're a good value although I'm sure there are some bad pump guns out there.

I would spend the little extra on a cz612 HCP but that's just my opinion. They also don't make them anymore so may have to find one.

These are readily available to me new in box where I work. Also I have layaway available to me on them. Those are the main reasons I'm considering one.

Before buying, see if you can easily get later get a longer barrel. Many ranges won't even let you shoot a short barrel.

They would be at outdoor ranges. Barrel length is a non issue. Good point though for some.
