I bought a three digit Gold Label three years ago and have used it exclusively since then. It has never failed in any way and it has given me a much undeserved reputation as a crack game shot. Some of my pheasant hunting friends have hinted strongly that I should only carry one chamber loaded so that they get a chance for the second bird. I have shot mostly 1-1/4 ounce #6 for pheasant but I have also used it with one ounce #8s for grouse and 3 inch duck loads. I shoot left handed with the left barrel IC and full in the right barrel. I shoot better with this gun that with my true left hand AYA. I can't say that I like the styling around the head of the stock, but I don't see it when I'm shooting. I paid $1600 for it and would pay twice that for a second one in case anything happens to this one.
