I think the quality on them is hit and miss... I'm not impressed by them.

Seriously, I'd suggest you go out to your local clays club....and look around the gun racks / see what you see....talk to guys about their guns, what they bought, why they bought them, would they buy them again, how old are the guns, how many shells thru them, any maintenance issues....and talk to casual shooters, to some shooters that are out there every week, shooters that shoot "registered" targets in competition....

Even as a casual shooter that goes to the club once a week puts at least 100 shells a week thru their primary guns...or about 5,000 shells a year.../ serious shooters will put 500 a week thru their guns...so 25,000 shells a year or so...

and I think you'll see a trend develop ...in terms of what guys have found out about many different guns - over time in terms of reliability, fit, budgets, etc.
