Beautiful rifle, but I've never been a fan of break-open rifles. I just don't think they will handle the pressures of something like a .308 (or other modern high pressure bottlenecked rounds) as well as a falling block. That, and they are more cumbersome to reload, especially from a sitting or prone position. Great for shotguns, but those are of much lower pressures and we reload them standing up.
