Rugerdiggs: I knew Barney Lawton personally and watched him create many beautiful actions/Rifles up til the time of his death.
I kick myself for not getting the money together and buying one of his wonderful Rifles before things shut down.
Several of my friends own them and they are all happy with them - including one sensationally accurate Varmint Rifle in 223 Remington.
The Lawton actions/Rifles seem to hold up well over the years IMO.
Best of luck to you with the new Rifle (if you buy it).
