Has anyone seen one yet or purchased one?

How do you like it?

How is the quality?

Seen yes. Held yes. Purchased NO.

Looks good but like most 12 ga. SxS shotguns to me it feels very bulky and is way light for most American 12 ga. loads. You shoot 1-1/4 oz. in that thing and it's gonna HURT ya. Now 7/8 oz. and a slow 1 oz. should be nice.

Other than the bulk which I think all 12 ga. SxSs have in common it feels good and looks good. Don't recall the asking price. Parked right near it on the shelf is a 20 ga. SxS of some Italian make I forgot at the moment. Oh the difference. This one really feels nice in and hand and looks better than the Ruger for less money. I seem to pick it up and swing it each time I go in. So far I've resisted it's charms tho.

I loved it. The word is Ruger hasn't made very many and could be hard to get ahold of one but then again you know how rumors are!

According to a R&D person @ the plant, they are being made in small quanities, each by hand until a full production line run can be done. they're shipping but in very small quantities.
