Picked up my Stevens 320 SEC shotgun. It comes with a Ghost Ring rear sight and green fluorescent front sight. The action is easy to rack, and will probably loosen up with use. I won't be able to make a range trip for a while to shoot it. Looking at it I immediately became aware it is definitely a knock off of a Winchester 1200/1300. The Stevens barrel will fit and lock up with 1200, but the 1200 barrel will not fit the Stevens due to the magazine lug ring is smaller in diameter on the Winchester. Notice the similarities in the barrel cuts, and receiver parts.

I wonder if that stock is available separately. It looks better than the stock + pistol grip on mine.

You can check with Savage-Stevens. Also maybe on Numrich.com

Took the Steven 320 to the range to test it. It was flawless with the 2¾" Spartan 00 buckshot. I meant to take some Federal LE Flite contol #1 Buck and a some Federal 2¾" 12 pellet 00 Buck shot shells, but I got side tracked getting my new SIG P238 and ammo packed for the range trip.

The gun racked smoothly and never missed a lick. Hold 5 2¾" shells in the tube. It's chambered fro 3" shells, but I don't have any so couldn't see how many would fit. I like the ghost ring rear and florescent front sight. (my first experience with a ghost ring.) The stock is comfortable, but I need to put some length on it for my long arms, so I'll have to put a slip on recoil pad on it. The pattern for two shots is pictured at an estimated 15 yards. ( I didn't realize I picked up a used target and there are two or three .22 caliber holes mixed in) I also did a rapid fire 6 shot string on the steel plate rack and videoed it, but the wind blew my phone over. Same this happened on the second string so I gave up, but I hit all twelve times. I am very happy with it and for way less than $200 bucks it's a bargain. It will be stashed in my truck to replace the old JC Higgings Model 20 that was stolen. I miss that ol' gal.

Nice - I especially like the protected front-sight on that shotgun. Next up, slugs

Thanks. Yep! It presents a nice sight picture I tried taking a photo looking down the barrel, but it was a poor photo. I'll take the Federal LE #1 and 12 pellet 00 as well. I have to dig for the slugs- I forgot where I put'em.
