[QUOTE="Urban_Hunter, post: 5725624, member: 12353"] I’ve got some new and old. I don’t think the new ones are really lesser quality, except for the triggers. The trigger on anything since the late 90’s/early 2000’s are garbage. The xmark is garbage wrapped in cat shat. The xmark pro is cat shat wrapped garbage with perfume sprayed on it. Maybe compared to other new factory triggers they’re on par, but the old two screw adjustables were the best factory trigger ever produced if you know how to tune them. I’ll agree on the 700 and 870 being rock solid. The 1100 however, in my opinion, is not on the same page. I have 3 broken ones. Two with broken welds/solders/whatever in the action that require more than the gun is worth to repair, and one that broke the weld on the mag tube ring on the barrel. They were each very finicky on what they would and would not cycle. Two of these are 80’s models and one a 2004ish model. Probably got our moneys worth, but all 3 total failures. My 1187 seems to be much superior IMO. [/QUOTE]
