I own three NEF Pardner Pumps. Two with 28" barrels and a Turkey model with a much shorter barrel. I didn't want the standard SD type shotgun with the CYL bore so I went with the Turkey model as I had a choice of chokes to use. In my opinion these are sturdy workhorse shotguns. I looked at Remington 870, mossberg 500 and the pardner pump in a side by side comparison and bought three of the NEF guns. I believe I made a good choice.
