Gun and gear reviews Canuck Operator Tacop elite reviews?

Before we start. Yeah. I know. Turkshit, turknelli, buy once cry once, etc etc. I get it isn't a go to war gun, it's a clone of a $3k gun that costs $1k. Ive heard mostly good stuff about the Canuck operator, but I imagine the Tacop is potentially a bit more refined given the original has been on the market for years.

I'm split between a 1301 and this, the fact of it being half the cost is the main appeal. Probably only going to get shot maybe a dozen times a year, likely less than 1000 shells yearly.

Anyone got one that can speak to it?

Edit:

Well out of the dozen comments, 2 actually had some feedback I was looking for.

Bought the Canuck. I guess I'll post an update when I get a chance to put a few hundred shells through it. It's not going to be as nice as the 1301, but if I get enough use out of it, I'll sell it and justify upgrading.

I'm picking up an elite tacop today. It comes down to limited use, cost and what I'm looking to get from it. I was choosing between Mossberg 590r or the Canuck. I want the smiles per shot the Canuck will no doubt provide and eventually I'll likely add the 590r as the one that will last forever.
