I've had a 20 gauge Bobwhite since about April and have put at least 300 shells through it so far. I agree that I was very pleasantly surprised at its quality. The only trouble I've had with it was the circa 20 pound trigger pulls. On the first pair of birds I tried, I pulled the trigger and the gun didn't fire. I had not pulled the front trigger hard enough. I removed the hammers and sears and polished the approprite surfaces. The trigger pulls are still a little heavy at about 6 pounds, but are manageable. The gun shoots well and my sporting clays and skeet scores show it.
