Anyone else pick one of these up? I had never heard of them before, but the few posts I found on the net from people that own them, say they are a great target rifle.
I actually bought 2, 1 complete in VG condition, and one beater he had as a parts rifle with a ringed bore. Both have great looking bores (other then the ring).
I haven't got it out to shoot yet, but first impression is very good. Fairly hefty gun with 26 3/4" heavy barrel, great sights (front takes Anschutz inserts). It's a single shot, and there is no ejector, you have to pluck the spent case out of the bolt. Trigger is 2 stage with a very decent pull. Bolt and trigger design is very simple and rugged, all milled steel parts on this thing. Really just a no nonsense, tough ass target rifle.
Here is the beater rifle, no bolt, and barrel is ringed, very nice walnut stock with no cracks or dings. I'm sure the stock and sights are worth what I paid for the whole thing. If I can find a bolt it would be cool, but it doesn't matter much, I can just swap in the other bolt.
Good thing is that the barrel is ringed about 5" from the muzzle. I'm going to have my smith cut and crown the barrel just back of the ring, put some bases on it and a good scope. I will still have 20"+ of barrel, so it should be a good shooter yet. These barrels are too good to just junk.
