I had a few people ask about the gun so here's a mini review
I bought it several weeks ago and just took it out today for the first time. It's a really well built gun with excellent fit and finish. The receiver is milled from aluminum, the gas system is essentially straight from the Benelli M4, and it comes with the Nordic extension, vent rib, top rail, glow sight, and rail/sling barrel clamp.
I did nothing to the gun, I didn't even disassemble it for cleaning before the first shoot. I put 50 rounds of S&B 'reduced recoil' slugs through it today without a single hiccup. It shoots fast, soft, and straight! The action is buttery smooth, the trigger nice and crisp, and the overall feel of the gun is superb. If you didn't tell me, I'd swear it was a Benelli... and I hear some parts are even interchangeable, actually. Some guy on a 3-gun forum bolted a Benelli pistol-grip stock right on; he also claimed the entire trigger group from an M2(I believe he said M2 and not M4) drops right in.
After playing around on the short combat range with slugs, I took it to the trap field and loaded up some Winchester Target loads. I forgot my IC choke at home, so the breacher stayed in place! This was my first time shooting trap so I wasn't sure what to expect. The gun performed flawlessly, eating up the light target loads effortlessly. Again, not a single hiccup. I shot 50 rounds and by the second batch I had a good handle on things, hitting most of the targets with relative ease. Unfortunately I also forgot my torx wrenches at home, so I couldn't remove the rail from the receiver... it basically blocks the vent rib bead and sight, so I was shooting somewhat 'blind'.
I couldn't be happier with this thing. Money well spent! Its my first semi 12ga and I basically bought it after getting to shoot an M4 a few months ago... I was really impressed with the Benelli and how smooth/fast it was. At the same time I wanted a gun that would be a little more versatile, and with the 22" barrel and vent rib I think this Remington is spot-on.
It doesn't seem like they're very readily available in Canada, and it did just come out recently so accessories are probably a long ways off... but if you're looking for a semi to fit multiple roles (skeet, hunting, 3-gun, whatever) make sure you don't overlook this thing. They aren't kidding about the versatility and reliability of this gun.... it's 100% right out of the box.
note: I measured the chamber, pics on page 4; it's 3.5" even though Remington advertises it as 3"
