The big negatives on this gun for actually shooting skeet are first many now will say the barrels are to short . If you just shoot at your local club in leagues or for fun it’s fine . If you shoot registered you’ll eventually want to upgrade to a Krieghoff Perazzi or Beretta . The other negative and the biggest negative to me is PARTS , 101 parts are not readily available like they once were . Sure a good machinist can make some of what you might need that is rather expensive . And granted a new Citori or K-80 or Perazzi isn’t inexpensive to fix . But it’s still less costly and parts quicker to obtain .
