My SC1T was used by the American team in the L.A. Olympic games.It had over 500,000 shells put through it. I have shot it over 100,000 times more. No balk ;no problems.Two 70 cm barrels.One skeet and the other live bird.I have gone straight in skeet and have done rather well with the birds. The trigger is no problem unless someone has messed with it. On the other hand, one of my clients shoots the Citori and was the first Virginian and the second youngest shooter to run a 400. Then he did it again. All last year. He is 16. Try that. If you are under 16 ,it will work; if not --mighta been.
