Hoser-

You get what you pay for.
With double rifles, it takes a lot more money to get relatively similar quality levels seen on double shotguns -- there are reasons for this, and the reasons all cost man-hours in the end.

From many reports, from all over the country, the Remington double rifles have shown up to be useful and durable hunting rifles.
Think of them as the decent 'truck guns' of the low-price double rifle spectrum.

Double rifles take relatively simple but specific steps of maintenance and handling *including loading for them*, to keep them in good, safe working order.
I can't say what the life expectancy of the Remington rifles will end up being - as they were only on the market for this last year or so - and Remington seems to have abandoned the line.
