Owners of the IJ700 appreciate its simplicity and light weight for a 20-gauge single-shot. It gets favorable marks as a first shotgun or youth platform, and the break-action mechanism is praised for being easy to operate and teach safe handling with.

The 18.5-inch barrel keeps the gun compact and manageable. Some adult owners find the youth sizing a bit short for comfortable shoulder use, so fit varies depending on the shooter's build.

At its price point the IJ700 is viewed as dependable for what it is. The trigger is functional rather than refined, and owners are generally not expecting otherwise. The 20-gauge chambering reduces recoil compared to 12-gauge alternatives, which is frequently cited as a benefit for smaller-framed shooters.
