What would you rate the 300's series on the pull/snap scale?

I don't have a problem with the 300 series springs, and would not characterize them as weak.
 
I have a few new [3 spring] 301's, and a 303. All have what I would describe as light pull/snap. Not necessarily weak but mild compared to any of my other stockmans like Schrade or Camillus.
I don't mind it, but I knew before I purchased the 3 spring 300's they were probably going to be a "light" pull.
The 303 does have a little more snap than the 301's
I also have a 302 Solataire that has a nice medium snap. Love that one, very thin.

The offshore 300's I own have a little stronger snap than domestic and are pretty nice. I carry a 301 usually though.
 
My older one's from the Camillus era definately have more snap.The current 300's I'd classify as medium. I still can remember some real old timers knives as a kid that were almost nail breakers to open.

I'm not interested in the offshore Buck, but I need to acquire a US made 302 since I like single blades.
Not that there's anything wrong with China Bucks but I like to buy US Bucks.:D
