I am one that makes that very statement - but it needs to be qualified by so saying "
over a lengthly period of time" Usually most break opens will shoot great when they are new, but over a long period of time, such as a lifetime gun, wear and tear takes it's toll on the hinge and the lock-up mechanism... the differences will begin to appear.
Excellent shooting by the way also.... I am packing right now headed to the Tri-Cities area (Washington) - got a rondy shoot this week end so I will get to do some shooting there. Plus Washatonian and I will try to put some holes in paper or blow up some clay pigeons on Saturday after noon...
