I got this in a bundle deal for $80. I would have paid more as it is a good gun.

considering the low cost this shotgun has been reliable and would make a good choice for home defense.

Good gun for the money, as I got it for $99.00 on one of Bud's deals.

Awesome shotgun for the price. I would take this over just about anything in the same price range any day. Once again Buds came through with a great product at a great price and as always great service.

I got this as part of the black Friday deals and I am happy to say that it has become one of my most used shotguns and stays next to the bed every night. Once again Buds came through with a great product at a great price and as always great service.

Havent shot it yet but seems pretty nice especially for the price and the breacher choke it comes with makes it look mean has a good feel in the hand and the pump length seems much shorter than my mosberg 500

Nice Shotgun. Good copy of my Remington 870. Can pick either one in the dark and be comfortable.

I own a PASI MAX very similar shotgun low price high quality. I would have to pick this Emperor very light solid built a fires with no failures. Buds has it the cheapest too. Great job buds

Purchased back in March, have put several boxes through the gun and it has performed well. Buds was great to work with as always.

Great and cant't beat it for the combo price. Shoots as well as you would expect from a lower end shotgun. After some rounds pump lossens up nicely. Great service from buds and fast shipment.

Another great buy from Buds, This rifle is one great buy, perfect right out of the box.

Never was able to shoot it. Tested with snap caps and found it didnt reliably feed. While figuring that out, the end of the firing pin broke. Looks nice but thats it.....its been sent back to buds to figure out

I won the chance to buy this for $49.00 I'm glad I did very nice fit and finish. Only problem is that I had trouble racking 3" 00 buck shells into the chamber. They wouldn't go from the mag to the chamber. Chambered fine singly but not when racking into the chamber. Switched to 2 3/4" shells and the gun and mechanism worked fine. I'll try another brand of 3 inchers but I'm just as happy to use 2 3/4 ". Nice looking gun and otherwise works fine.

Hi Buds staff (re: Ian P.) I know you've been very busy with holiday orders...So now can any of you comment on Ian's previous post a couple weeks ago (partially copied below) about if this model Emperor Guardian shotgun accessories interchangable from other models? ...appears to be identical in construction and design to the ASI PASI1 shotgun... I'm assuming it's made by the same people.. My understanding is that these shotguns are built off of Benelli pattern shotguns and will accept extended magazine tubes from the Nova, which I will look into in the future. The breacher choke is also easily removable, but I'm not sure if it will accept benelli choke. Thanks for any more input.

I got my. Shotgun and I am very happy with it The pistol grip fits well in my hand and the stocks fits in my shoulder very well also The action is smooth all around a solid weapon.

Another satisfactory purchase from Buds. The gun arrived within the defined time, item is as described. I would have given a 5 star rating to this shotgun, but unfortunately it doesn't satisfy my reason to purchase it. I was looking for a shotgun that I can use for deer hunting. I took the gun to the range and after a box of sluggers I couldn't see the point of impact at 50 yards, even though I moved the rear sight all the way up. I moved the target to 25 yards and after 2 more shots I realized the slugs were hitting at least a foot low. Since the rear sight can't go any higher, I'm assuming this gun isn't accessorized for slugs, but probably for magnum turkey loads, and other home defense loads. I will try to replace the front sight, which is very high, with a lower sight to see if I can move the point of impact to the bullseye. Other than that, it's an awesome gun for the money.
