Pretty is as pretty...
Pretty is as pretty does. This is a good solid home protection shotgun for the price. Functions like it should. Has a smooth action and tight lockup. It ain't gonna win no beauty contest but that ain't what I bought her for. I recommend this gun to anyone looking for a hd shotgun.

Couldn't ask for more...
Couldn't ask for more based on the price. Only complaint is the finish is pretty poor, though it is not noticeable until it's in direct light. I will put a new finish on it myself, no big deal. Took it to the range for the first time today and put 50 miscellaneous rounds down range with no real issues. Twice I needed to use a little extra muscle to eject a spent shell, but that is expected with a new pump. Shot slugs extremely accurate. I put my first 10 slugs into a hole smaller than my fist at about 15 yards. The ghost ring sights work great. For anyone wondering, this thing had no problems eating up Federal Premium Tru-Ball 1 oz. rifled slugs, Estate High Velocity 1 oz. rifled slugs, Wal-Mart (Winchester) "Military Grade" 00 buck, Nobel Sport "Law Enforcement" 00 buck, and Federal target loads. All 2 3/4 inch shells. I would recommend this shotgun for home defense for anyone on a budget. Also would make a great camp/truck gun as another reviewer mentioned. Hell, it's a shotgun, you can do about anything with it!

Good budget shotgun,...
Good budget shotgun, decent finish, Ghost ring sight is a plus and pretty solid. Certain 870 forends will not fit without modification including the 870 tactical forend. Added a nordic components 1 shell extension and made the tube about even with the barrel. Now for a little downturn, I had this as a back up to a back up for a skeet shooting competition and owner of the two primary guns had a few problems before our flight time and the 982T went up to bat and it actually shot amazingly, I was able to place in group B in a A-F competition. However, on the last round of qualifying, before my final 2 shots the barrel link that connects the barrel to the magazine tube completely fell off. I don't know if the solder was of poor quality and the heat loosened it to the point that it separated or if it was just a bad bond to begin with. This is not a major negative for me, mainly just a minor inconvenience as I reattached it to the barrel with a strong bond and went on my merry way. Overall, great home defense/truck/beat up/camping shotgun, just don't know if it's meant to be shot continuously for an extended period of time.
