Franchi 612 autoloader

Does anyone have any experience with this gun? I want to get a 12 gauge, and it seems that my friendliness with mr. ruger seems to be going in a downward spiral. I was looking around the web, and happened to find this thing, and it is the lightest 12 guage auto/pump i have found yet. My dad had a Franchi al48 that he simply loved, but for some strange reason sold it. The reason that it is an autoloader, is that i am not very fond of pumps. It can eat 2 3/4 and 3" shells, and i have no use for 3.5 inchers. Here is a link... http://www.franchiusa.com/firearms/model612.tpl Here are the specs for it... The order is product #, barrel length, stock, overall lenght, weight, lop,  drop at comb, and msrp.

It is very beautiful as far as autos go, and like i said, the lightest 12 guage i have seen yet. I already have a 12 guage loader, so i could make my own skeet/trap loads for it and such.
