To me, any break open gun that falls right open, is a pleasure. A little wiggle? I don't care.
Hi Steve.
The only new o/u gun to fall open from new was the good old winchester 101.
I had a 12-bore-LTW-with a straight hand stock . I did like that gun but sold it on as you do i now wish i still had it .

All the best Dave.
