Thoughts on CZ Teal SxS

At the shop recently and noticed a SxS I did not recognize. Asked to see it and it was a Teal SxS, which looks very much like a cross between the sharptails (finish) and the bobwhites (double trigger), both of which I have. What I really like is the traditional box lock look rather than the faux side plates. I thought, wow, this gun has everything I want. Very reasonable price, too. However, the action felt nothing like the bobwhite, nor the sharptail. It was a bear to open and close. The person helping me explained that there have been many complaints about the new action. He explained that people find it doesn’t get easier with break - in. It was enough to make me question whether I could manage it in the field comfortably.

Question: what is different about this break action to cause such a difference? I quite like the gun, but am put off by this one, though very important issue.

How is it living in Central Missouri?

Thinking of moving my family (F21, M24, F1) to central Missouri within the next few years. Whats it like? Where's the best place to raise a family, have a social life, but live far enough in the country to homestead?

A suitable replacement for the SS Inaugural?

Was reading about the recent transfer of the USS Silversides SS-236 in Lake Michigan and thought it’s about time we move on from the loss of the Inaugural and park some cool vintage ship along our riverfront. What sort of ship, or which specific ship do you think might add to our riverfront fleet?
