Witch one do you like best?
Far as looks, the burn't bronze one. don't know about performance. i'm sure the two VR80 will be the same, The VR82 20 gauge will probably be more pleasant to shoot and that Dickinson, who knows? I have a bunch of old 12 and 20 gauge shells i'm going to run through them first. i doubt they will work well. most are bird shot and the guns have not been broke in. i hear they are picky with light ammo til they are broke in. i don't know that, just what i read. then i will sight them in right with the buckshot i bought. Most people say leave the bolt back for a month to weaken the spring some and they will feed the light stuff right off the bat. then again i have seen videos where they take them out without doing anything and they feed everything.

The bolt locked back thing is nonsense. Just lube 'em up and give 'em a good break in. Wipe 'em out and relube. You'll be surprised how much cerakote/anno/sbn mung will be in the oil after a bit of running. Things will be much smoother then.

You guys already know this, but the Circus Bear is smartz.

If that spring weakens in a month, that thing is NFG. Same goes with magazines, but some do have shitty springs in em, early 597 Remmy mags were bad for it if left loaded.

I always use plenty of mobil 1 on everything and no i didn't lock no bolt back. my OCD would never allow that.
