[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 1703769, member: 13284"] IAC 982 is $189.99 and H&R is $183.99 at SSP. They did not price the RIA. Shipping of $20.95 plus taxes would be tacked onto the price. Unfortunately the IAC Hawk 982 is out of stock through Davidson's or I might have ordered it. I headed to Academy on my lunch hour and checked out the H&R as well as a Savage Stevens 350. I was very impressed with the ghost ring sights on the Savage as well as how it felt when shouldering the shotgun. I called all three metro area Academys to see if there were any non-display units in stock and to get more info on the model. The only feedback that I could get from the all knowing gun counter personel was that "a shell might burn your legs because it's a bottom eject" and that "there was no comparison between the Savage and the H&R because the Savage is made in the U.S." :scratch: I've done a little bit of research on the Savage and it appears that most everyone is pleased with the shotgun, but there are a few troubling reports of double feed jams and unintentional ejection of unfired shells under recoil due to the slide not locking. No mag extensions can be installed and replacement parts for the Ithaca 37 platform are hard to come by. I guess I'll be picking up the H&R Pardner Protector since the IAC 982 doesn't look like it will be easy to find. Anyone seen a local price lower than Academy's $199? [/QUOTE]
