Jlambe, I got to shoot an 828U yesterday while I was shooting skeet. It was considerably lighter than the beretta 687 I was shooting and did jump a little with the 1oz loads I was shooting. It should be a dream to carry though and will make a sweet bird gun. I liked it. Congrats on the new OU!

I was going to go shoot this weekend at Elm Fork Ranch to get some practice in.

I have been shooting an 828U for the last 1.5 years. The floating breechblock greatly reduces recoil. In fact, the 828U in 12 gauge kicks much less than my Browning Superposed in 20 gauge. At this point, I have shot several thousand rounds thru mine without any issues and I enjoy it more each time I take it out. Did you have to shim the stock at all? Also did you put the extender tubes on it? I did not have to shim it at all. I did add Carlson extended choke tubes.

I actually bought some of those yesterday, I ended up going with the competition gold ones. Light Modified Modified Improved Modified Improved
