FH07, Ruger has been around longer than some not as long as others All are still trying to stay competitive and in buisness. You can not beat the price of free however a gas opperated autoloader will not beat you up after repeated firing at clay targets like a fixed breach one. if you are shooting one ounce loads the recoil will be considerably less than one and a eighth loads. It all depends on how much you shoot and how many shots in the outing . I reload my own target loads not my hunting ones. just my opioion Glenn
