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

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

I would look on youtube

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