I think you'll like your Cruiser. I presently own 3 Mossbergs - a butt-feed Model 151K .22LR (about 62 years old, and still shoots well), a 12ga 500AD "Riot Gun" that I've had for 35+ years and is still sweet, and an AT100 Night Train in .308. I recommend Mossberg to anybody on a budget who is seeking a long gun, and who asks for my advice. Across the board, they have always made what I refer to as "affordable quality firearms". They are relatively inexpensive, without being "cheap". They work good, and last a long time. Pax...
