Stevens 320 pump?

[slicknickns]

Decent firearm. I sure as hell wouldn't make it your first shotgun however. If you've already got a Mossberg or a Remington, go for it. Like if it's your boat gun or your cabin shotgun. It's not inherently bad --- just cheap feeling. Wasn't all that impressed with it when I held it at Big 5. Looking for a budget shotgun; get a Maverick.

First trip to the range mine fell apart. 30-40 round and the magazine tube came off the receiver when I pumped it. Took it home, screwed it back in. Second time to the range and it popped off again after the 3rd pump. I sent it in to Savage on 11/19. They paid for shipping. Called yesterday for status update and they told me I will be getting a whole new shotgun, shipped out on 12/11. Just waiting now. I bought the combo at Big 5.

A Winchester 1300 stock will not fit the Stevens reciever.

yeah it is. at least savage paid for everything since it was still under warranty. maybe I just got a lemon.

I hope so. Ill make sure to clean it and shoot it ASAP when I pick it up so I can test it.

I was gonna get it until I saw the reviews for it the reviews say the weld that holds the forehand onto he gun are only spotwelded and break if your rough on it . and as others said the mag tube falls off so IMO get a hr pardener pump (takes 870 parts but barrels) and around the same price of the stevens

Got my new shotgun, seems to be all good. It's all cleaned up and ready to take to the range. If I could do it all over again I would've got the Mossberg 500 combo. My advice is save up and get a better quality gun, you get what you pay for. I'm a little hesitant to trust this shotgun with my life, so I would not recommend this for home defense or a first shotgun.

Thought about buying this for fun cause of the price but not anymore after reading this thread lol.. Thanks guys

[Justin87]

I get mine tomorrow. **** you guys are making me nervous. lol gawd it cant be that bad.

Don't worry, SavageArms warranty has your back, worst case scenario.

Just because they are assembled by 8 year old children doesn't mean they are gonna fall apart on your first range visit. My Stevens 350 has been a champ, and the 320 should be no different. Clean, feed and treat it properly and you won't even think of it's country of origin.

Yeah I didnt realize that stevens was owned by Savage. Thats actually why I took the chance on purchasing it. The guy at the gun store told me, I figured meh cant be that bad Stevens is the Squire of Savage. My squire has always treated me well even though its not a Fender

(Im comparing them to guitars. lol)

Shot it, seemed fine. The pump lever? idk what you call it seems like its kinda cheap... but over all besides that and it being kinda sticky like other said it seemed pretty solid.
