I have both styles of them, 12ga 28" sideplated and the 30" normal boxlock. No issues with them at all, other than stubble getting into them once a season in the layout blind, no big deal to clean that up, barley seed got into the LH ejector one day, pea got into the table one day. Very tight patterning with BB's & #3's, been using Kent 3" 1425fps 1-1/4oz loads in them. Three seasons in on them now, very pleased. 30" likely has about 1000 rds thru it. Both have been out in rain and snow, no issues there. Both swing nice and steady, 30" is better of course. Just using the 5/10 and 7/10 chokes in both. At the time I got mine they hadn't released the DT versions yet, think they have now, the SST works fine though. I thought they were good value for the money. No hesitations recommending them.
