Title: weatherby SA-O8
Post by: remmy1187 on February 18, 2014, 01:52:13 PM
Wanting a youth model for my daughter and had a few questions for anyone who has one of them.  Have any problems-reliability, and I would like to put a red-dot on it so I would like to know if it is drilled and tapped?  Thanks ahead of time.

I have a full size and my brother has the youth.  We have never had any cycling issues or problems of any kind.  In my opinion, one of the best shotguns on the market.

It's not drilled and tapped. Mine won't cycle light 7/8 oz loads with the light piston but all heavier payload shells cycle without a hiccup.

Love mine. Based system is based off Beretta design. Awesome gun. It is not predrilled and tapped. A buddy got one and gun smith mount ff2 directly to gun with no issues. Best value out there for a shotgun.
