Rigby, I confess to having a serious thing for wide file cut ribs on a double. Hands down my favorite barrel style, maybe because of its similarity to a shotgun rib. I like to look over that broad plane with the target sitting on top, especially for quick shooting. Your eye goes straight to the front sight with no need to think.

I've also got to agree with Don. On bolt guns I always thought the purpose was for snap shooting rather than weight distrubution or balance that could much more easily be acomplished with a wise choice of barrel contour, length, and stock. All of those should be considered with the balance in mind anyway, so I wouldn't add a rib in order to fix a problem there that didn't need to occur in the first place.

Besides, they just look right!

Bob
