As mentioned earlier it does appear to be a Scott actioned gun with their proprietary screw grip third fastener, which time has proven to be very strong and wears well. This is a gun that will certainly outlast you and your children. And you may be assured the Browns would not have put their name on it if it wasn't up to their high standards. I say "go for it" and to heck with what the resale or whatever might be--that isn't the point.
