I keep jonesing to build a long-range target rifle on one of the Pete Allan boxlock actions as sold by Pecatonica and others. While snooping around on the Net, I found this reference to a similar action first designed by George Foster. He built a beautiful target rifle.

Interesting and honorable parentage for the Allan boxlock, I would say!
 
I have always liked these old box lock actions. Come close to buying one at times.
