I have a break-open Traditions Pursuit that has terrible fit & finish. You can see daylight between thereceiver and side panels on the synthetic stock, the fore end feels "springy", there are a couple small "pits" in the receiver from casting (I'm guessing it's cast and not milled), the barrel finish is good but the sights have plastic bases, the trigger pull is heavy (but does break cleanly), but the darn thing shoots as accurately as many much more expensive rifles I own and have owned. With the cheap fiber optic sights I'm getting 1" groups at 50 yards.
Price is NOT an indication of accuracy potential. Price is a good indication of fit & finish, andwarranty & customer service.
For an inexpensive break action I would say CVA, NEF, or Traditions will probably all be good possibilities. I would probably choose NEF as #1 choice, but I don't like the $1.00 each plastic primer carrier they require. If I were getting a NEF I'd look into a .25ACP breech plug.
