If it is good, and I presume from everything I have heard, then the wait is well worth it. I have a Hoening Rotary Round action, another product of a master gunsmith and a true innovator. He too works alone and builds only a handful of guns each year. Since he is getting a bit older, and as his order book is also full for the next few years, I consider my gun to be not only a great shooter, but a work of art that can only appreciate. As with Mr. Proctor, when he is gone, the source will be as well. If I was in the market, I'd get in line now. Dave
