[QUOTE="osok-1k, post: 1914857, member: 106259"] I ventured into a small gunsmith shop in Gunnison Co. back in about 1989 while prepping for the upcoming Elk season that winter. I talked with the owner a while who was building a falling block mostly by hand with files and was very impressed with his patience and attention to detail. He showed me a few rifles he had built and the workmanship reminded me of some of the fine guns from Italy and earlier Brownings. I believe the name was Christensen's guns or something like that. I have an early Pierce single shot bolt action that I really like, it's chambered in 6.5x55 AI and achieves (for me) the perfect balance of velocity and cartridge size and a venerable bullet diameter. All to say that single shot rifles require a little different personality to enjoy fully and the premium placed on first shot execution and a degree of practice to reload quickly, all of which can be very satisfying.
