One of the hotdogs in the skeet game thirty years ago Larry Woo (not one of my favorite shooters) would crack his gun open with the empties flying backwards and the four flunkies on his squad would bat them up in the air one after the other .

There are a lot of Larry Woo stories. I've never heard a flattering one

With me, its the kitchen table gunsmith jobs that are usually deal killers. Buggered up screws, cut stocks with badly fitted pads, cut barrels, and any kind of pitting.

I'm not a fan of recoil pads to begin with, so badly fitted hack jobs are a real turn off (even though many can be fixed).

One more, why do people feel the need to put a pad on a .410? Just me.

Or a 16, 20 or 28 for that matter? A Silvers pad isn't that soft either but I can see it being used to increase LOP.

I will not purchase a gun with excuses. "Great gun but has a repair the the stock" etc. There are enough guns out there that do not have excuses.

I will not buy a rifle in .308, .30-06, .30-30 or .270 (unless the .308 or .30-06 is full auto) nor will I buy a repeating lever rifle.

Hmmm 06 and 308 are not in my top ten favorite cartridges however ........ I have one of each in Mannlicher Schoenauer carbines and a 270 for good measure as well as 243 , 6.5x54MS and 7x57

You do like those Mannlicher guns! I had one years ago that was a .22 mag. Neat little gun.
