Jim Watson, yes, Barnard. Finest shooting thing to ever come out of New Zealand:

And then there's the Musgrave, great stuff from South Africa that's kicked the pants off all the others at World Palma Championships a time or more.

Checked a couple out in South Africa when shooting there years ago; good as any custom single shot action made in the USA.
