I like the break open action. Seems at least for me the easiest to prime, disassemble and clean. But that's my opinion. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

The easier cleaning part I could care less about. It's the ease of priming that tops things for me. They are all easy to clean in my book. Some may take an extra minute than the other but again, they are all easily cleaned. I just don't want something that I have to carry a priming tool around just to load the dang thing.

Rather a bolt. More accurate at long range.

Those would be a falling block or drop action, not a break action.
I like those too. Had good luck with Omega.

Not. Triumphs and Impacts are break open rifles. Omega and KRB7 are drop/falling/rolling block rifles.

Yeah you are right, I was thinking about the trigger housing dropping on triumph in my mind. Brain fart
