This review details the extreme disappointment with the Century Arms Ultra 87 shotgun, purchased for $200 as a budget gift. After only 25 rounds, the shotgun suffered a catastrophic mechanical failure due to poor metal quality, rendering it inoperable. The reviewer strongly advises against this model, highlighting common issues and recommending reliable alternatives like the Maverick 88 or a used Remington 870 for home defense.
The IAC Hawk 982 is a budget-friendly Chinese clone of the Remington 870, priced between $150-$250. It features a metal trigger guard and machined extractor, differing from the 870 Express. While most 870 stocks and forends fit, barrels may require modification. The shotgun demonstrated 100% reliability and a smooth action during testing, making it a viable option despite its weight and lack of US warranty.
