The Winchester SX1 is considered a very good piece among the trap and skeet shooters I know. Its construction is all steel, and it is very reliable. I have had 4 or 5 of them, and have one now. I once decided to see how many times I could fire it without cleaning before it gave trouble. I had fired it 600+ times when it got rained on and had to be cleaned, and at that point it had not missed a lick.
