Well, thanks to some informative guys on this site I decided to puchase the Baikal MP 153. I didn't want to wait for two weeks to get one delivered to an FFL so I called around and found one close enough. I wanted the synthetic but they only had the wood so I had to compromise a bit, but for the price I couldn't go wrong.
Anyway, I wanted to have it for opening weekend of the South Zone dove hunt in Texas, but it was pretty much rained out so I only got to put about 20 rounds through it. I can't wait to break it in to see what I can put it through.
Thanks again!

Hi and Welcome !
I have had an MP-153 over 2 years now and I can't complain. AS you can tell, it isn't the lightest gun out there, but it'll do the job and is a dream to clean.

Congrats on the new gun. The best method to break it in is to get a box of the strongest shells you can handle. 3" or some slugs would be great. Hot field loads will work, but it takes longer. Once it's broken in, you can feed it anything and it'll just ask for more!
