I bought the youth model for my daughter in 20GA for her first deer hunting (she's 12 years old). The gun has an expectacular look; almost like the Benelli Montefeltro and is as light as the Benelli. My daughter's shotgun works just fine but I did get one jam when trying to shoot without cleaning from the previous weekend shooting. It is so easy to clean up this gun that I go ahead and clean it up after I come back from shooting. The gun cost me $349 and for that price I think is just fine. I need to test this gun a little more to be able to give you a better answer than this.
