Well on the point of it's got to shoot where it's pointed,
I don't think you have many worries in this department.
From my view, shooters should practice more with the gun
and get the load right (if you reload) and the guns will do what is asked of them.

IMHO, I wouldn't touch a California Rigby - marketing at it's worst. If you want a gun like this, buy a Merkel, Heym, etc etc.

Westley Droplocks - great guns, concept good - however they were built for an era years ago when Safari's were a long way away and transport for service was difficult. You'd buy one because they are well made guns that shoot AND IMHO more importantly, if it fitted you and you liked it.

H&H - love them, great guns, great company - haven't seen a DR in the round action so can't comment.

My opinion the No.1 important issuse with any gun is it has to go bang, and No.2 is it has to shoot were its pointed.
MOST Modern made doubles will do this.

In answer to "Will the cheaper made guns do this", YES.

Is it quality or actual design problems that makes them different? QUALITY and actual design AND the way they are made that makes them different - not sure what you meant by "problems" ?

Should I set my budget for English made guns.
IMHO, You don't just buy an Englih gun so it goes bang and shoots where it is pointed - I think there is more to the ownership of an English gun than just that.

If that "it goes bang and shoots where it is pointed"
is all you want, then buy a modern double from Merkel, Heym, Chapuis etc etc.

These are just my HO's. Hope it helps.
