Wasn't trying to knock your words Old Grump. Stated the way you did in the last post I agree 100%.

pdg929- I love my original Wingmaster but it took some serious polishing to get my new Wingmaster to function even half as smooth as the old one. I kind of have a bad taste in my mouth over that and a 700bdl that I purchased and had to send back 2x because of rust coming through the finish. I don't know if I simply ended up with the lemons of the year or if the quality went down hill because of the holding company ownership as some have speculated. I like the 1100s I have shot but have not tried a 1187 or the Versamax which both seem to be well made.

I sure do wish we had some more try it before you buy it options in my area or that I knew more people who shot. I have seen advertisements for a range over in Post Falls Idaho that lets you shoot pretty much anything made. Maybe I will call them and see what kind of a shotgun selection they have. You have me thinking now Old Grump!
