Bought new for £1650 in early 2007. Shoot every weekend - no serious probs other than almost losing the trigger pin (loctite it in) - others have seen this too.

Machining isn't top class, several rough finishes on metal parts (especially ejectors) and one engraving error (I'm not happy about that - engraving ends "prematureley"). Chokes with plastic rings look cheap/tacky but pattern well if slightly high. I would recommend a session on a pattern plate with your favourite cartridge. Cylinder seems good enough to break anything and I tend to shoot cyl + 1/4 at the local clubs. I wouldn't recommend 32" gun to a newbie or someone of shortish stature - it just looks wrong but - hey - if you are killing those birds....!

I'm guessing that the gun will last longer than me.
