I have one in 20 ga., it is as you described. The stock is more like a semi-monte carlo style, possibly for the smaller frame person it was intended for. I put a standard shotgun stock on it just this year, it is nice and light. I think I payed $50 bucks for it 10 years ago or so. It has taught 3 kids how to handle a shotgun properly. JamesIII
