At that price, you should be shelling out the Grants as fast as you can..

SKBs are excellent shotguns.. The M500 is merely their entry level shotgun, mainly just missing fancy-work and choke tubes..

The internal parts are outstanding - easily rivaling Browning Citoris.. They're durable and retain lockup actually better than the Citori..

If it fits you, buy it and go hunting...
