Great shotgun, took it out hunting and it worked as expected. The chokes that come with it worked well. Definitely worth the money!

Important things to take note of: Made in Turkey Aluminum receiver very light gun With that said, still a very nice shooting shotgun. Best quality for the price range.

I have a Winchester 1300 already, that’s in such good shape I don’t really wanna take it to the woods.I opted for the sxp with a synthetic stock and all I can say is it’s a good shooting gun takes a few rounds to get used to the assisted pump but once you do you can shoot this thing FAST. Dang near the speed of a semi auto. I’ve only owned it about a month now but so far so good hopefully this one last just as long as the 1300 beside it

This is a good gun for the price. Hard to beat a pump shotgun for versatility. I'll give it the 5 stars.

This is an awesome gun. First time I took it out, It had a few hiccups, but I took it home and cleaned it really good, and its fine. Reccomend this gun, for the money....its a fine gun.

Purchased this gun for $339 in August of 2020 as a backup gun or an extra for just in case. The gun arrived at the FFL in 3 days. On day 1 i went out and shot 200 rounds of no. 8 bird-shot. I dropped my Browning Maxus one morning duck hunting, grabbed the SXP out of the truck and ran it for half of a duck season in 2020 and dove season 2021. I can count on one hand the number of misfeeds I've had and they were all in water during late duck season. Highly recommend this shotgun for a backup or for a first time shooter/hunter. I swapped out the choke for a Browning Invector style choke from Carlsons and thats how i hunt with it.

Buds is very good to work with. Best new prices and availability on the internet, imo. Once payment cleared, which took a few days, the item shipped super-fast and arrived at FFL with no issue.
The Shadow 12g 28”. Very nice fit and finish. Removed factory lubricant (as instructed in the manual) and applied new oil. I did find a dead Turkish spider/spider-web in the barrel. Also removed corny Winchester sticker from barrel (left a very slight variation in the black finish).
From first to last shot of the day, the gun functioned flawlessly. Bird, buck, and slugs used. I like the automatic extraction of the spent cartridge. Included chokes was a plus. Can’t beat the price for a new, entry level 12g composite stock shotgun that works as well or better than competitors.

Buds was incredibly fast to ship to the FFL and once I went there to pick it up and they knew it was for them they said “oh Buds is super easy to transfer from” which I a great feeling being the first online gun I bought.

Ordering and receiving from Buds seamless. I've been trying to purchase a home defensive shotgun for months with no success. Decided to go with a longer barreled, proven reliable brand shotgun (Winchester) then have a qualified Gunsmith cut the barrel to 18 inches and add high visibility sites (in-process). Can't wait to see and break it in.

The smoothest, fastest, pump shotgun I own. Has been reliable through lots of different ammo and I'm very happy with this shotgun. Shipping and ordering was fast and easy.

After nearly a month from ordering it, I finally have it in my possession. Such is the fate of a California resident. I'm extremely pleased with how easily the transfer to my local FFL occurred and, although not directly related here, to the service I received there as well. The shotgun is gorgeous and looking mighty fine. I have not yet used it but I wanted to leave a review anyway because I am so pleased that this purchase was accomplished during this crazy times.

Excellent 1st. shotgun. Works great and easy to load. Would definitely recommend this for home protection, which is why I bought it.

This gun operates as advertised and you will not be disappointed with the smooth action and reliability. The finish on the barrel is really cool and attractive but doesn't seem to be as durable as traditional bluing So either take special care not to chip the finish on the metal parts or else be ready to perform a little touching up. The vent rib is raised up in the breech end so the shooter can see a hump that will be a new experience, but if the gun is mounted correctly it does shoot straight along the bent rib. Buds guns will hold your e-check for a week which is irritating even though that's their clearly stated policy before shipment begins.

This Winchester jammed up right out of the box. I called Winchester and had to send it to their repair center. I guess its a crap shoot with turkish guns.
