<< I think the noise that is attributed to the ejector is over rated as the sound of two brass cases clanging to gether as they hit the ground is just as loud. >>

The point in not having ejectors when noise is an issue is that you pull the cases out and stick them in your shirt pocket. Then they don't hit the ground. Some of the old timers even stuck to external hammer rifles as they could be silently cocked.

Today there is a trend for having all the gadgets on a rifle or gun whether they make sense or not. Here we do rough shooting for pheasants. Why do we need ejectors on the gun when they were developed for driven shooting which is almost unknown here in the US? One of the big points of a double rifle for big game is the two independent locks for reliability. Why complicate it with ejectors? If a third shot is required to stop a charge it's the backup man whose going to make it, ejectors or no ejectors.

Resale might be trifle less without ejectors, but then the purchase is that much cheaper too.

I have one gun with ejectors. It's faster to unload bu slower to load and close so no net gain. Although I'll admit it may be stiff to close due to newness and needs a see little use to free up.

(As long as am ranting, why is it here in America we insist on using a given gauge gun to do the next bigger gauge's job? 28's are sometimes loaded like 16's. 20's are almost always loaded like 12's and a lot of 12 gauge loads would be better in a 10. This trend has also led to a given gauge gun weighting as much as the next larger gauge ought to weigh. I just read an article praising a new 28. The thing weighed about what a good 12 ought to weigh.)
