Love it! I have 2 a wood stocked 28in and a synthetic 26in. Recoil is mild, has a little weight to it and swings well. I really like the shim system with the synthetic the best. I was able to lengthen and cant the stock to fit me perfectly. The only change I would make and did was to change the white bead out to a fiber optic sight. Its a duck killing machine now. With that being said I have a benelli M2 as well. I like both guns as they both have their high points. It all boils down to what fits you as shooting a shotgun accurately is mostly fit.
If you have any questions hit me up. I will do my best to help your decision based on what I have put mine though.....boat paddle, path clearing, mud, ice, walking stick in muddy uneven terrain...and has yet to go bang.
