Sorry, no (I have the 120-400 F4.5-5.6 APO DG OS. which is a totally different beast). Colin Peddle's review is pretty positive.

Re: does anyone have the 120-300 f2.8 Sigma
I've been using the 2013 "Sport" version of this lens (with the usb dock for customising settings and adjusting focus) since June.
The first copy I received had major problems in that it front-focused with no TCs attached, and back-focused with either the 1.4x or 2x attached. Although I could have adjusted the focus using the usb dock myself, I thought this was unacceptable for a brand new lens "out-of-the-box" so took it back to the supplier for a replacement.
The 2nd copy is just perfect. Fast-focusing, accurate and sharp. Although a fair bit heavier than my old Siggy 150-500mm OS I still mainly use it hand-held. The images below have all been taken with this lens on a Canon EOS 60D, with a Sigma EX 1.4x teleconverter...and all hand-held:
