European Single Shot Rifles

European gunmakers produce some very light quality single shots, which is a niche not served very well here. Can some of you provide some makers names, models, calibers and weights? Seems to be a useful type of rifle that just has not been discovered in the U.S..

If you see Blaser, then nearly always Krieghoff has the same: http://www.krieghoff.de/deutsch/models/mhu.htm#thu01

If you want a cheaper one, the Czech make also a rifle like that. But I couldn't find it on the www. At least here in Germany they offer it.

From Italy there is also one. I have to look for from whom.

Well, there are always Baikal rifles available. Very affordable, and the quality is acceptable. [Wink]

I like the K 95. Its accuracy is incredible for suh a lightweight gun. I have a 30 06 one on order with a .222 Rem barrel.

Yes, I was intrigued by them. How cheap or how expensive are they ?

Prices over here might be a bit distorted due to taxing, but they sell the 7,62x39, .308, .30-06, .222 and .223 models for about 150-200 euros.

I have always had a hankering for a single shot rifle of some sort. But have never managed to find one that I liked and could afford.

Ruger #1's are not that appealing.IMo I like the Dakota Model 10.

What else is out there? Most of the links in this thread don't work by the way!

Husqvarna M98

Jacobs, check date for the first entry, 6 years ago,

that could be the reason why some members no longer exist and that the links are down.

The best single there is you say, a Blaser K77 might just fit that bill.

Thanks for the suggestion. But I'm not overly keen on the K77 style of rifle. I much prefer the Falling Block or Rolling Block type of action.
