Had a later issue .30/30-12 gauge with synthetic stock. Good shooter, and had the nice trait of putting slugs exactly to p.o.a. at 50 yards when the rifle was zeroed at 100. Killed a decent 8 with it in 1998, with the rifle barrel. All in all though, it was a big load to carry and the comb of the stock was square on top, not what you want when shooting heavy 12s. Solid, but kind of crude. Still like the concept, but the execution is not very "smooth". Even the Baikal I looked over once was much nicer.
