Friend of mine owns one - I've shot it quite a bit. It's great, I had a grand total of one malfunction in about 250-300 rounds of 1oz target loads. Super soft shooting - feels like you could mount it on your nose. Nice gun in my opinion. He's had it for a little over a year, shot plenty of clays and its been hunted with 4 times or so. Apparently it managed all loads right up to the 3 1/2" with ease. Recoil obviously goes up too - but manageable.
