The Field's is a little busy on the outside, compared to American style rifles like the Stevens 44 & 1/2 & the High Wall, but it is a very nice action. Mine had been heavily used, and clearly was someone's favorite hunting rifle in the past. It was fairly light and well balanced.
To get it running well would have taken a rebore, and possibly replacement of the breechblock to tighten it in the action. It was more than I could swing at the time.
