Bolt actions for .25-45 Sharps

[vpsalin]

Are there any bolt action guns for the .25-45 Sharps? It seems like a nice caliber for Scout-like bolt action guns. Would be nice in a 111 Hog Hunter, Mossberg MVP or Ruger Scout like rifle, then again those aren't even chambered in 243 win as we speak...

 

[Why not?]

I had PO Ackley barrel one up on a 600 Remington about 40 years ago.

We called it the 25 Copperhead back then....

I played with the idea. Decided to wait and build a custom 25/35 instead. Neat little round perfect for coyote

John Wooters had a .25 Copperhead.........222 brass expanded up to .25 caliber.........Harold

That's it! Mine had a 20" barrel, and we loaded 87 gr Speers to 2900 fps using IMR4198.

Used it for sheep and caribou with nary a problem.
