I picked up a new clay thrower, the Champion Wheeley Bird, and took the new shotgun out. Both performed flawlessly. Rather than cleaning and oiling the gun first as I should have, I shot it straight out of the box with a variety of shells including a bunch of cheap 1 ounce dove loads and even some light target loads and she cycled all without a single issue. The only negative, which I already figured, is that I will definitely be installing the included shim to add a little more drop to the stock as the comb is a little high for me. It is comparable to Winchester 1300 where as I prefer a little more drop like a Remington 870.
