Hey yall. I'm very interested in getting an NEF Pardner Pump, after handling the new 870's beside it, I'm extremely impressed with the fit, finish, and smoothness of the action on the NEF. Plus, I've been told it also has a metal TG and a few improvements over the 870. With all the bad press abt the 870 on the net nowadays, I'm kinda leery of 'em. Anyways, honest opinions, reviews, and picks are welcome, thanks.
