Amen to that Cliff.
Last Christmas I bought a Chinese shot gun because it was cheap and got berated by many (who have never fired one let alone owned one) saying it's junk. So far I have cycled many a load through her, cheap shot, expensive, 2 3/4 and 3". Never had an issue. Killed a few geese in early season. A few weeks ago I bought a brand new Mossberg 500, mostly for the barrel combo, and the very first time I fired it, it cycled and spit out an unfired round from the mag. Needs work right away. But my Chinese special has never failed from right out of the box. In fact it will be with me on tomorrow's opener and the Mossberg will be in the safe.
Just goes to show that you don't knock it till you try it.
