Having bought my SPR 310 S last August and then be called away for work, I couldn't wait to give it a try… well, after a 2 month hiatus, I finally got my chance.
It worked superbly!! My first round of trap was so-so, the second round better, the third round-I shot the best round of my life. In fact, unbeknown to me, I was being watched by the club president and range master who, after finishing the round, asked, "to see the gun that never misses".
Regarding some of the problems I have read about … I had none. After only 25 rounds the action loosened up, I never had a misfire, or any clogging of the ports. In sum, it was a wonderful experience and I am d--- glad I bought it.
The one thing I did notice but adjusted to … was that I needed to point the gun much lower than I am accustomed to (even for sport models)… changing the front bead might be something to do in the future, but I will shoot a few more before I make any decision.
