Stevens model 320 12 gauge pump shotgun

[RWMC]

Walked into my local China Mart store the other day, only to see in the sporting goods gun cabinet a Stevens model 320 shotgun on clearance sale. The regular price was $147. The clearance price was $125. You can’t even find used pump shotguns at the pawnshop for that cheap, unless maybe they were rode hard and put away wet, time after time, after time.
Even though it was made in China for Stevens, it felt and looked like a quality made shotgun. So I took the gamble and brought it home from China mart.
If any of you have ever owned and shot one, I would appreciate your feedback on your experience with the Stevens 320 shotgun.
Thanks for your input!

Yes I did. Its a 1300 clone.

I bought one also, the slide is smooth, if it is clone of the 1300 it should be smooth, I like my 1300s even though some people say there is too many plastic parts. They also had 20ga with a shorter barrel.

have a 20 adult and 20 youth.
Stevens admits its a 1300/copy,and a lot of parts interchange.
The stocks won't though. If u buy choke tubes,buy em for the 1300,they fit perfect.
Personally, I like em. No problems here. Eats everything fed it,and slug accuracy is phenomenally good.
Sure the fit and finish aren't 870 wing master quality,but neither is that price tag.
A good rub down with 000 steel wool,and a $10 blueing kit from wally world,makes it look like a high dollar gun.
Other than finish,everything works great,and shoots as well as any top end shottie out there.
I guess the deer and ducks agree...cause they're still dead.

Bought a 20 ga for my wife a few years back. O.K. gun.

I own a 320. I researched this shotgun and found almost all positive reviews on both the field and tactical version. They offer a combo With both barrels... 28” and 181/2”
Aside from the gripe that this shotgun is Chinese, most everyone agrees this is a good shotgun for a good price. At $125, I think you got a bargain!

At that price, in these times, how could you not?! And, if anything goes wrong (hopefully not), at least you'll be dealing with Savage customer service.

Any functional firearm is at least worth $125, so I think you did very well.
