They want you to report back in a year on how you like it. Why one year, why not 4 or 5 years? Now I shoot a 20 ga. and a 28 ga. Bobwhites and have for 4 or 5 years, now they are not used for SC but hunting and pasture clays, each gun gets a flat or 2 through them a year at least and have not had one problem with either shotgun. Both shotguns preform well for the purposes I bought them for hunting and fun, what more could I ask?
