I've got a lovely A Y A 20 and it's become my favourite. Nice and light, solid scaled down boxlock action with 27'' barrels. Admittedly, I got it at a good price, 200, about $300 I think. I would recommend a gun like this without hesitation, not sure if it'll last as long as my English guns but if looked after I honestly couldn't see why not. Don't think I'll be around long enough to find out though.

Rust never sleeps !
