"...Brit 'best' guns are almost always ejectors..."

With respect to double rifles, that's BS. British Best Sidelock non-ejector DRs are common. Off the top of my head, I can think two non-ejector Holland Royals for sale on the web now. "Best" has nothing to do with ejectors.

I've never shot ANY ejector gun that was as easy to close as a non-ejector gun. There are no free lunches and ejectors must be cocked on closing, making them harder to close.
