I'm 100% with him on round actions.
Wish I could afford one of those nice rifles too.
Not this year.

I'd reather hunt with the round action.
I think the Scottish gun will be a better shooter when my daughter is ready to retire her hunting career and start thinking about liquidating or handing off my guns to her children.
I think these guns will appreciate nicely over the next eighty years too.
As wether or not it's shootable has something to do with a gun's worth, and in my family, we use our guns and hand them down. I have a tower pistol that's been in the family since it was nearly new.
I'm on the Scottish gun for Value and Investment.

This is all seen through my heavily Scottish Blood filtered vision too.

As it is now in my running collection of old guns, my double rifles are round (although back action hammer...) action guns. My favorite shotguns are also round action hammer guns save for my Darne 28bore gun which handles quite like a light round action.
