I would be looking at a Woodward or a Dickson round action.
I.m going to assume your have a working familiarity with my value system; you have been around plenty long to have read a post or two. The first point to consider is that Woodward holds Brand Value one (BV1), whereas Dickson is Brand Value two (BV2). BV1 = 1 1/3 BV2; for comparable guns JW will cost one third more than JD.
What opinions and price range am I looking at for say a somewhat "Honest" example of one of these?
"--- somewhat "Honest" ---" translates into Current Condition level four (CC4) which is defined as "Heavy use, but no abuse."
Woodward SLE's and Dickson Round Actions are mostly Original Quality grade one (OQ1) guns. BV1-OQ1-CC4 = $15,918 and BV2-OQ1-CC4 = $11,938. So, if you would consider, say, venturing into, oh, maybe slightly "dishonest" guns, post back and I'll run some guns with warts and such.
Be sure to stop by Toby Barclay's Heritage Gun booth at the Southern. If you like, we can meet at the Southern and talk Woodwards.
