MidwesternerNo, but I'd love to get my hands on one of their triggers. They prove you don't need stainless and synthetic to get an ultralight rifle.
ps. it comes up in german, but I got a google bar across the top that asked if I wanted to translate, I hit the translate button and it now reads in english
That is a very nice rifle. I could not find a US importer on the website, anyone know of them?
The rifle reminds me a lot of the the new Heym Martini bolt gun, and that is not a poor comparision. Very elegant piece.

bwanamrmNever run across one but they are truly beautiful rifles... if I could find one in a 9.3x64 I would be a happy man! Doesn't look like it's in their line-up though.
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Looks like they are willing to do a 375, and they do a 9.3x62. Just appears as if that is not a "stock" caliber. There is a picture of a magnificent 375 on their website.

You guys are right, very nice looking rifles. I am really intrigued by how slim they have made them, handling 3 in the magazine only. I think it looks great when it is slimmed down this way and am really hoping if someone had one they could provide dimensions.
I figured one of you guys had one...I'm surprised.

Most top builders will accommodate other calibers. Might cost you the price of new reamers unless they already have one from a previous build.
Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can.

bwanamrm Sorry. My mistake. Brenneke base is too wide. Site says: Other calibres: Only for cartridge case base of 11.9 – 12.1 mm. Nice, slick rifle though. 'ave fun.
