Paul,
I wouldn't worry about reliability for this SC. As long as it's in good shape mechanically, it should be good to go. Would I use it to shoot thousands of rounds per year, no. But to shoot an occasional round of trap such as in a local trap league, I would. I learned to shoot with a Parker SC since I was old enough to pull the trigger. I also used it for ATA targets in the beginning. Your only problem is if it does break, you will wait to get it fixed. It's not like a 1100, 870, or BT99 that just about every gunsmith is familiar with. I've only had one thing break on my SC and that was the ejector. Took it to DelGrego for a replacement in the 1970's. I shot a lot of targets using a Krieghoff KX-5 and if the KX6 is anything like it, you'll love it. Built like a bank vault and very few internal parts.
