I would look on youtube

Most all the reviews have been unbiased and positive Charles. Example : http://jakesgunreviews.weebly.com/winchester-model-1897.html

Buds offers two models, one with no reviews. The other has horrible reviews.

Averages 3 out of 5 stars. (I wouldn't buy it). But to each his own. I only say this because you asked, I'm sure it won't help sell any. But you can get a Pardner pump for under $200 with much better reviews.

1897 pump is what the 97' trench gun started as, if its good enough for war good enough for me
