Come on dad, pony up and get here a Bennelli montefeltro short stock 20ga.. i know were there is a used one in camo for like 850, might be able to talk them down just a little..

Unfortunately the cost difference between crap and quality in autos is considerable. It just seems these low end semis are a real headache alot of times.

Although you wouldn't get the recoil reduction (I'm not even sure these Tristars are gas guns) of a gas semi.... a youth pump may be an option too.
