Ryan J –
Bought this gun in March of 2016. I use it for Trap shooting, I try to do four rounds of Trap a week, more if I can, but average 4. Thats 100 shots per week. All told, I’ve probably put 5000 shots through the gun between the top and bottom barrels. Maybe a bit more, maybe a bit less. I haven’t really kept track, and I have other guns that I use as well. First round I ever shot with it I broke 18 of 25. That was my best score at that time as I hadn’t been shooting trap for very long.
It is NOT a Perazzi, it is NOT a “B” gun (Beretta, Browning, Benelli), so you can’t expect the same level of fit and finish. Speaking of finish, the oil or whatever they used on the Forend is deteriorating a bit, thats why it only got 4 stars instead of five. Wood to metal fit is quite nice however.
I’ve had a few fail to fires, but that could be attributed to the ammo. I was using Challenger target shells, they are supposed to be known for having hard primers. With Winchester target loads, I don’t recall having a fail to fire yet.
If you think of a gun like a car, with every shot being a kilometer, one should get near 100,000 km out of a car with only minor maintenance and no major repairs. One should get near 100,000 rounds out of a good quality trap gun without major repairs.
Whether or not this gun will give me 100,000 trouble free rounds remains to be seen, but, so far so good.
I have no major complaints yet.
Price was also good, I kicked mine up from Tenda, just under 1,400 bucks, taxes in.
