[97W]
Date Added: Wednesday 05 October, 2011
I purchased this shotgun for use in SASS Cowboy Action Shooting matches, as well as for SASS Wild Bunch matches. I've been using an older model IAC 97 for over 7 years, and have not had any problems with it while shooting matches. We tend to run our shotguns pretty hard at matches (especially at Wild Bunch matches), and these 97's can take the abuse quite well.
I had read that IAC was planning on stopping the import of these shotguns, as well as the 97 Trench Gun. Because of this, I figured now was the time to pick up a second one of these shotguns, while I still had the opportunity to do so.
My new 97 is an 09 series 97, while my older one was a 01 series. The walnut stocks on this one are very nicely done, and the metal blueing is excellent as well. I particularly like the large front sight bead on the shotgun, as my older one has the smaller front sight bead.
The service from Bud's was excellent, and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from them again in the future.
