I would say for most high volumn clays shooters 30K would only be a year on a gun. I know for a fact I have put 150 flats thru one of my Benelli's in just over a year and thats only counting clays shooting. Not a single hick-up.
I have heard of stories about some Benelli's not shooting but I can honestly say I have never seen or known a single person that has had issues.
Did I mention I only need to clean the Benelli to keep the rust at bay?
Agreed - on A gun but when you have 17 12 gauges alone, not counting 20, 28, and 410 and their sub gauge class shoots - A gun doesn't get worked that hard in 1 year. Buying 700x 48 lbs at a time, primers 20k at a time, wads 40k at a time, shot 500lbs at a time and that wasn't near enough for a summer.
The Benelli I saw go down was in a Missouri snow goose field. Fire once and it would FTF after. Our guide wasn't impressed but I can't speak for how he maintained it. If.
Again - my point was the the SX2 IN MY EXPERIENCE which isn't inconsequential, is and has been just as good as the 391 and when you look at their use - it's vastly more than the average 5 boxes of shells a year duck or goose hunter.
