If ya'll boys would use those guns enough to loosen'em up a little you would find that an assisted opening feature is unnecessary anyway. With proper length barrels (that would be 30" or longer) wink the weight of a set of barrels will open the action and trip the ejectors, ejecting the empties. I've been doing the "right hand opening/left hand loading" thing for years. First day's shooting in Cordoba got my new 687 SP II Sporting to where it would do that, in '03. Use 'em more, talk about 'em less.

All this talk of high fallootin' mechanisms to assist opening is a bit affectatious, IMO.
