Yep. I also don't think they support them very much if at all either. The receiver is not very beefy like say on a Parker where the flats and lugs are but it is made from stainless steel so its tough and light. Problem is with those guns if it has issues not a lot of folks know how to work on them. If it is problem free gun then it could be a great field gun. Not certain I would want to cycle thousands of rounds shooting sporting clays and not expect some issues trying to get it fixed.
There are certain newer made side by sides that are pretty good guns but are only around for a short time since they can't grab enough market penetration. Ruger did get the gun runners and shooting editors worked up with it and they all were frothing at the mouth for the 20 gauge model. In my opinion Ruger messed up royally and should have put efforts for the 20 gauge first. I think that would have kicked off a new emergence of decent priced american made sxs interest. Of course I could be wrong.
