Moving off the trail here a bit, let's assume a guy doesn't have access to a Greener and doesn't want a Baikal, what's next?

Anybody care to toss out a list of common shotgun actions on a scale of strongest to weakest?

Seems like the Greener and Baikal get mentioned alot, but others must be or have been used to build DR's, yes?

This whole "building a nitro express DR on a shotgun action" topic fascinates me mostly because I'd never do it, personally. I can't see going to all the effort, expense, etc to build a gun that has a Question Mark stamped right next to the caliber designation though I love to read about those who do. As said before, we all have our lines in the sand. It is a very interesting endeavour that sure seems to spark an abundance of emotion from the supporters and detractors of this action and that.

Some of the guns built are very nice looking, though I always wonder how many rounds of this or that case charged with Nitro powder they'll take before the owner can swipe a credit card between the bbls and the breech face...

I wonder if a list of common actions/strengths could be hashed out for those admittedly intrepid few who seek fame and fortune building these rifles. Seems like the list would be fairly long for BPE, get shorter for NFB and finally be very short indeed for NE.

Stick an arbitrary price limit of, say, $1,500 for the actions?
