Excellent! This information is exactly what I have been wanting to hear. The comment on finding a suitable action being somewhat difficult is exactly what I am up against right now. I was interested to see if my standards were a bit high but it sounds like I should hold out for exactly what I was looking for.

The info about the "bar" being longer on rifles (more than 2 inches) was new to me. It may sound remedial to some, but it helped my comprehension a great deal. Thanks again.
