I think rigbymauser sums up Newton's accomplishments in cartridge design but Charles didn't do too bad on rifle design either. This 1916 model was his answer to the Mauser Oberndorf sporter and considered by many to be the finest bolt rifle of its day. The smoothness of the action reminds me of the MS. Many of the features were engineering marvels and were way ahead of their time. Timing is everything and caused the demise of the Newton.
