    in Long Gun


  • Can my CZ "Classic" sxs 30" w exposed hammers withstand 4500-5000 shells a year as a clay shooter?
    (I use 1oz #8 1180 & clean it after each use.)
    How durable is it?

  • Hi David, it should be plenty durable with proper maintenance. I don't do quite the volume per year you do but, my CZ does fine with about half that per year with no issues.

  • I would say that at that level of shooting you are pushing the durability of the CZ Classic series the guns. and you need to look at more competition designed firearms I shoot skeet competition and I have seen my share of worn out guns. I would guess at the level 4000-5000 rounds (18,000-23,000 rounds total) a year that you would get 3-5 years (with proper care ) use out of the CZ before it would need major rework on the lock and hinge systems hat was about the life of the Ruger red label guns we had as loaners. The SXS and hunting O/U guns are built to be carried a lot and shot a little so the are built to weigh in around the 7 lb mark when you look at high volume clays guns the are quite a bit heavier and beefier running more like 8-9 lbs 5000 rounds a year is almost a 100 rounds per week every week. one year of this shooting (5000 rounds) is more than most of these guns will be shot in their lifetime.
