Bronko we will agree to disagree on the lesser quality part. The V2 is afine gun I have shot one many times at our farm. If the price is a concern I picked up my one Triumph for $249 new. Thats alot less than the v2. Im only 42 but I still feel the American worker takes pride in the product he or she manufacturers. And that in turn puts out the highest quality products. Bronko I wish you the best with your new purchase and look forward to many range reports.
