400NitroExpress,

The Rigby is a rising bite and a bar action. Its the one listed as sold at Roosevelt and Drake. I went back through mt list and didn't find any other errors.

Corrected numbers:

Big bores:

Back action: 18
Bar action: 4

Corrected ratio: 81.8% back action and 18.2% bar action for the big bores.

Throwing in the two rifles CaptCurl posted photos of and the numbers come up:

Back action: 19
Bar action: 5

Ratios: 79% back action and 21% bar action.

I can't make out who made either rifle.

I've looked at Galazan's, Fine Firearms, in my gun room, Champlin's, WR's, Bass Pro Shops, GA, Roosevelt and Drake, Gun Vault, Steve Barnett. One thing is clear and that is that I need to reorganize and shorten my favorites list, can't seem to find some of the dealers I've looked at in the past. This computer is about nine months old and I may not have transferred all of them.

Got any more places to look at sidelock rifles?

I won't add a Searcy or xxxx maker to the list even if they only make one or another type of action, only the rifles I can find, since really this list is a count of rifles and not makers.
