Dear Philip, Rugged, reliable? Have you not experienced plastic elbows, plastic jacks, plastic flanges? True, once these are replaced they are reliable but remember that Pratt-Read made the action, not Lester. I understand the sensitivity since they were made so close to your home. The cases were built in a sturdy manor having toes on most of their models. No offense intended.
