I guess its all in what a person likes, the money don't mean much to us old guys.You can't take it with you anyway. I buy a new TC every year this year it was the Triumph, and I like to shoot a lot and feel I already have gotten my moneys worth. I tried a couple of them low priced ones both had good barrels but cheap steel in the actions broke down in a couple of months. I also work on guns for a long time and got to the point where there are certain brands that occasionally have certain problem and I always hope the guy next to me on the range is not shooting one of them.
