If it jams, it is from a lack of maintenence or faulty ammo (bad reloads). These guns are as bulletproof as the 870s. Yes it can be noisy with the forearm rattling a bit, but knowing that lets the shooter use more care in jostling it.

A buddy of mine just traded for one in .30-06 with synthetic stock. I expect it to be about perfect as a utility/truck gun. We will zero it as soon as he gets his scope mounted. I expect it to shoot as well as most bolt guns.
