Thanks, Marrakai, I appreciate the information about Astbury. It's nice to know that a quality craftsman made the barrels. Could it be that he also made the rest of the action? My Andrews seems to be quite well made considering it is a field grade gun. I'll take quality over looks any day. Hopefully, I'll have a chance to get some loads ready in the next few weeks and give it a try. Hope it regulates easily...I'd like to use it to take some Whitetails here this Fall.

Is there any way to tell who may have made the rest of the rifle? Or, could Andrews have farmed out all of its rifle work and just had their name put on it for marketing purposes?
