FeedNew Scottish "Rounded- Action" From An Ancient Name
By Douglas Tate
What we like about a Scottish round-action is its discretion and restraint, the lack of unnecessary projections, the sober styling and, ultimately, the look and feel of the organic, near-cylindrical gun. But at nearly £40,000 for a new Dickson or MacNaughton, an Edinburgh gun is not everyone's cup of Earl Grey. Now Dickson & MacNaughton is offering a boxlock with the same sinuous shaping at about half the price of the firm's more expensive guns. By miniaturizing and re-configuring the cocking limbs and tumblers, workers at Dickson's Dunkeld workshop have squeezed Anson & Deeley mechanics into a round-action body.
