The Benelli 'crowd'. The great unwashed tasteless masses that don't know a 'proper' shotgun when they see it and instead choose functionality and durability over the obviously superior 'traditional' formats.

I can see one 'redeeming' feature right off the bat. The gun is not made in Turkey like some of the unusable crap that's often fawned over on this very board only because it meets some definition of having 'proper' form.

I'll accept designation as a member of the Benelli crowd if that means I can recognize guns that are more than adequately functional as delivered, are reliable, and have good if maybe not 'target gun perfect' triggers right out of the box (like everything Browning by the way, but at least they CAN be improved even the Cynergy).

They are going to sell boatloads of these... the Benelli crowd is large and growing.
