Of the 10 Remington SxS's I own, only one has needed repairs other than a occasional top lever spring. And I like the way they feel and swing when shooting SC's. The heavier weight than a light English gun takes up the recoil better. My Parker hammer guns have never needed a repair. Wait, one needed a firing pin. I feel my American made guns have stood the test of time quite well and have never felt the need for foreign made guns. There are still parts available if needed.
