How interesting is your old rifle when it's broken and you can't shoot it? I have a new merkel double which many people in this forum regard as unworthy, but what would their opinion be if it were a new Purdy?

While my comment was more towards bolt rifles and all the new cartridges my opinion of a new Purdey is the same as my opinion of a new Merkel, or a new Winchester or whatever.

Why would you think an old Double would break before your Merkel? Even if one did break what would be the problem? Just like anything that breaks you get it fixed.
