Default Weatherby PA-08

Just wondered if anyone had any feedback on this shotgun?

Looking for an inexpensive new one for the occasional duck hunt!

Thanks guys

Don't own but researched it as I'm in the market. Lower end product than you might expect from Weatherby. That's clear from the price. I just wasn't crazy about having to change out parts to go from a 2 3/4" to 3 1/2" round to get proper cycling.

The op is asking about the PA-08, not the SA-08! I handled one at Cabelas, they seem pretty nice! I was thinking about buying the upland version with the wood stock, but decided to get the Winchester sxp instead! I fell for the gas assisted pump! And the gun fit me well! Have heard good things about them though!

In one word ackward, find one and shoot it first, a couple guys at work where talking about get one, so I borrowed a buddies neither shot more than 5 rounds, is has an odd feel.
