It depends on how it balances. The Valier that I handled did not have, in my opinion the proper balance. The AyA next to it did, but looked like it was checkered by one of Jim Haynes' 4-H kids. I like Rabbits' advice, "fondle before you Buy". The real secret is to buy a gun that gives you the most for your money. Sometimes you can pick up used shotguns like a Browning pigeon grade Superposed for the same cost as a brand new Valier.
