IMO if you are going to shoot the gun, get the Arrieta and check out the same with 30" barrels. You may like it even better.


I have a round body 578 16 ga and love it. BTW I think it weighs less than the only JAPANESE 20 ga Parker I have ever seen. It was the one my freind had to returned to the dealer becuase it did not even come close to shooting where it was aimed.

My Arreita shoots dead on, the patterns are picture perfect. I couldn't have chosen a better gun for the money... and yes I know it lost value the minute I bought it, like most new guns.... It doesn't matter to me, IT IS NOT FOR SALE!

Good Luck
