And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Ruger makes (or made, not sure if still in production) a falling block single shot rifle. Unfortunately that made it too upscale and expensive. I could definitely see this in a much more economical package. As an example, I bought an inexpensive break-open rifle in .243 for my kids to hunt deer with. This after a variety of .22 rimfire training rifles. Worked well, reasonably accurate, and took several deer over the years. I could definitely see a rolling block design in the same roll.
Ruger made the #3 for a while. It was sort of an economy #1. I saw one for sale in 22 Hornet before the price on those skyrocketed. Still kick myself for passing it up.
A strong and simple action. Can handle the longest cartridges. Probably not much market for a new one made from modern steel.

DeleteMade for a compact slim rifle. Easy to carry on a long walk. Thanks Browning.
