[skeet]

The 58 was a good skeet gun and a fait field gun but they had a couple too many problems. One the receiver cracked badly and almost every one I have seen was cracked including one that had only had 17 rounds fired in it. 2nd was they were a bear to clean compared to the 1100. Harder to take apart mainly. And the 1100 is a much better gun although much maligned by people who do not know how to make 'em work. Any gas gun can be finicky...even the 390-391 series of B guns. The Benelli guns work pretty well but they are short recoil operated and they have their foibles also...mainly reloaded ammo problems as the guns are made to operated in a narrow range of pressure/ recoil In my opinion buy an 1100 in good condition for that kind of money. I've even seen a few 11-87's for that kind of money, especially here in Wyoming and Montana

Oh I bought them too. That is one of the reasons i now have 19 1100 based guns
