Stevens Model 5100 reliability?

[Goodwin81]

Does anybody here have any insight on the Stevens model 5100 12-gauge side-by-side? Are they a reliable shotgun for the money? Any first-hand experiences and insight would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Nothing wrong with them, nothing to write home about.

I have one in 16 gauge. Had it for 30 years or so. Its a nice carry for grouse and rabbits.

I have a 311 in .410. I had them in other gauges as well. Nothing wrong with them for reliability. The key to any double barrel is does it fit you. I have a number of SxS'S and this little .410 fits me very well which is why I still have it.

I have an old 311 also in 16ga that I bought new from lebarons many many years ago. Must be 70's
Ugly but has always went bang with no issues. Kicked like a mule however
