Bought my first one, a tang safety model in 7mm Remington Magnum, in 1983. Carried it on many elk hunts and it never hiccuped. Gave it to a son-in-law (now ex-SIL) about ten years ago. He guides for elk, mule deer and ibex. He says that it has dropped many animals when his dudes' fancy rifles misfire, jam or cannot seem to hit the target. I think that he gets around to cleaning it at least once every year or two...
