That break vs bolt was one I disagreed with also. Sabotloader and Grouse i would put up my Ruger No 1(Dad gave it to me not sure how old but old) against any bolt gun they have. I also know our military snipers only use bolts but I wonder if its more a less things go wrong issue. But I will say they shoot a hell of alot more than most so if they must have found that to be true. Why is it the break action hinge pins wear out?
