Maybe I can find a copy of that Roberts and Waters book.

I suppose I should also consider the Sharps action. Any opinions on its strength (In a modern version) compared to a Ruger or B78 / 1885.

For P cart5ridges the Sharps is da chit, because it tears down so easily - one pine basically and the block is out.
I like the Brownings and the Rugers as well, got "one or two" of each, I couldn't pick you a clear winner however, the Ruger has the faster lock time I suspect, but I really like open hammers.
Both are VERY accurate actions.
