Intermarco is correct.

From the description of a Navy Arms Creedmore match target rifle on the Morphy Auctions site, lot #44 closed on Saturday, January 31, 2015.


"This Nary Arms rifle was made by Intermarco which became Ardesa and finally Aramas Aral, Elgoibar,
Spain. Its outward appearance is as that of a full match rifle, with pistol grip half stock, and aperture sights. The rifle is however scaled down in size slightly from the originals and consequently is a bit lighter than the originals. Good mid-range shooting (out to 600 yards) can be achieved with this rifle, however the larger charges and heavy bullets generally employed at longer ranges can result in recoil being uncomfortable."

Fair enough David. Intermarco it is.

I did not know this about using 2f as opposed to 3f when shooting heavy conicals...explains a lot of my results recently!

Hello. The Rigby marked Traditions, it was manufactured in Spain by the artisan A.M.R. (which also manufactured muzzleloader shotguns). Ardesa manufactures a Hawken Match with many brass ornaments and patch box, with a Henry-Creedmore barrel, caliber 0.451, and a 20 inch twist, for 500 grains conical bullets. Greetings from Spain.
