How does the clone compare to the original?
You hit the nail on the head. They are best as a truck gun, or for something to set next to the bed for things that go bump in the night.I have a couple of 870's, and used them quite a bit in the military as well as hunting. I also picked up a H&R like new for $100- the "riot gun" type. I fired a box of bird shot through the H&R and patterned a few 00 rounds, and it worked fine, with predictable patterns. Also slung a couple slugs. I keep the H&R in my jeep. For something that isn't going to see a lot of heavy use that costs $140 new at walmart, it is fine for what i am using it for. I have no idea what 870 accessories will bolt to it, though.
Local Wal-Mart sells the Pardner pump for $150. So it is looking good to me as another work horse shotgun to go with my Maverick. I won't be getting another 870 unless it is a Wingmaster. The 870 Express Tactical I had was not worth the much higher price tag.
For $150 it's worth a try. If you don't like the gun you are not going to loose much even if you sell to gun store (wholesale). My friend found Makarov for $160. I told him same thing.
What do you guys think? Anything look strange? This review has a ton of pictures.
