The open top action is better suited as a hunting platform, where there is a way to quickly access the loading/ejection port. And the weight savings of less steel to pack around.
No doubt, I could not address every issue and since Spring had I just applied the "I'm in his camp" comment to cover that part. . As far as the action strength goes, I feel the same but have never seen any documentation or "expert" written articles with physics implemented to prove the case. Thanks for the information though.
