I looked at a Savage Stevens O/U in 28 gauge. Anyone have experiences with these?

What I did like:

The gun had a great feel and pointed well.
Nice looking checkered walnut and blued finish.
Good fit on metal to wood.
Price is around $550 and includes 5 chock tubes.

What I did not like:

No automatic ejectors
The gun did not break over quite enough to get the bottom shell out without forcing it.
Was not stamped where it was made, or not in a location obvious enough to find it.

Made in Westfield, Mass. They didn't have ejectors on some. Great shotguns, If you can get it cheap, clean the shell lifters and it should be OK to shoot...

My biggest concern would be having to force the gun to get the bottom shell out. I would use it for skeet and upland bird so a quick reload isn't a huge issue.

Do you think gunk in the shell lifters could contribute to the problem? The gun is new.

New on the rack, didn't appear dirty but I didn't have my glasses either and I can't see up close anymore.
