hi all,,truth be told,,I'm a Benelli man to the core,,10 years ago in the middle of a Benelli barrage,a relative of mine GAVE me his uncles stevens 820b,,the uncle bought it new in 50,later on gave it to the nephew,then me,,didn't know a thing about it,so I researched it and learned about the 69rxl and the stevens 77e,plus other Savage models,I'm very glad to have learned about the Savage /Stevens firearms,its made more flxeible and appreciative of other firearms,and thats my story thanks,,Frankie
