    Just got one- Stevens 12 ga. o/u model 512 Golden Pheasant. Paid $535.00. Comes with 5 different chokes. Nice wood and fit and finish for a shotgun made in Turkey. Barrel selector switch and manual safety. But I haven't shot it yet. Waiting for Spring trap shooting at my club - SORRY [:(]

    I had one come in for repair, a small screw fell out of the trigger assy. and several parts were turned loose. I called Sav. cust. service for a parts list and got "we don't have one" send the gun in. They sent a brand new shotgun for replacement (all for lack of a # 0x80, approx. screw). it did have auto ejectors and shot well.

    IT will eject the shells about 3/4" and the you pull them out by hand.

    "IT will eject the shells about 3/4" and the you pull them out by hand." that should be "extract".........an ejector kicks the empties all the way out, the one I worked on 'ejected'
