i'm sure i'll get flamed because they have "Winchester" on the barrels but i'll say it anyway. i've had 3 and didn't care for them at all. had a classic 20 and a quail special 12 back when they were in production and recently a pigeon grade 12. they're well made and work fine but for reasons i never determined they just didn't fit me well or something as i can shoot a mossberg bolt action i've got better than any of them. i had a couple of BSA 20 ga's at the same time as this last gun and found either of them preferrable, so far as breaking targets. for what a model 23 costs, i can find lots of guns that suit me better.
