It seems to me that given the recent shooting that Gary Ocock has done with his, that a Jay Young rain gun would be at the top of my list. There has also been some interesting work with actions specially built for rails, to make running easier.

It ain't over till the fat gun sings
Bill, It is very important to factor in the weight of your unlimited rifle. The successful formula varies by shooter. Basically the rule loosely translates thus: The gun may be packed in one or two cases. Each case shall weigh enough that the owner can with great difficulty move them from one spot to another. Each box shall not exceed but must be close to the "strain factor" for the owner. This encourages the shooter to manually lift the box and stagger around with it rather then employ a dolly. If in the rare event that a case and gun cannot be made heavy enough then a health hazard must be included in the design of the case. Examples would be wood splinters, sharp metal edges, loose latches and a lid design that easily slams down on fingers. Tim
