The posts above reminded me of something an old, sadly deceased shooting friend once said to me, I had a well used 30 Belgian boxlock , my first shotgun. I'd tidied it up, it was tight and shot well but I hankered after a fine english gun.

He said to me...

'It'll kill a rabbit just as dead as a Purdey will'

Wise words indeed.I had a lot of fun with that old gun and it put some food on the table. One misfire in all the time I had it. Someone else owns it now and it's still doing the job it was made to do.
