ddrhooki was at the DSC big bore shoot yesterday talking to Bailey and we will be working on the article soon and I will have pictures of some of his work with the article. He has a double 22 mag started thats cuter than a box full of puppies. It's in the white now but hope it will be complete or closer to completion when we get together for the pictures to go with the article. I really enjoyed the shoot yesterday meet some new people and jerked a few old friends chains

BigFiveJackBailey,
When does one have to make a final caliber decision
as compared to sending in the original money to be on
the build list?

Bailey BradshawJack,
You can sit on the fence until your rifle is about 2 months from needing the barrels. Right now that would be a year or so.

6.5 WildcatterAt the risk of challenging traditional concepts of DRs, I'm curious to know from those who have handled the Bradshaw DR and are familiar with the mechanism - is the extractor designed to handle rimless or belted cases well?
Specifically, what is the opinion of those knowledgeable on this topic about how reliably the Bradshaw DR design would extract such high pressure cartridges as the 458 Lott?

boom stickWould be interesting to see what is better for DG hunting. Bolt vs falling block double.

Bailey Bradshaw6.5,
The extractor I am using is for rimmed cases only. It has plenty of leverage. I used the Gibbs two piece extractor.
Boom,
I may be partial, but having witnessed numerous bolt rifles hang up at the range, I'm a DR guy.

boom stickI was thinking that the double falling block might get you 4 aimed shots off faster than a regular double.

You got that right!!!
I met Bailey at Cabelas in FtW this afternoon to give him my .500 NE to put on a peep sight.
I got to hold that Hornet and play with her a bit. What a piece!!!

leo toralballaI got to handle that rifle on Thursday
It has the lines of a fine horse, racing car or....(the children may be listening).
Handles like a shotgun! All it needs is to be actioned in damascus.... Oh wait, he's making MINE in damascus. I'll auction off uncensored pics on e-bay once it arrives.

NakihunterSpeechless and lost for words! The recessed peep sight is so classy - a BIG improvement on the last .22 DR. Who is the lucky guy who is going to own this rifle?

Bailey BradshawLarry,
What do you think about setting pink cubic zeercons on the ends of the curb feelers.....You would be the only kid on your block with one....

That should also fit Biebs very well!
Now you guys leave Bailey alone so he can finish my 6.5 in time for hunting season this year......
