This is a quick and dirty pic on top of the counter in the shop. Fraser in 405 Win.

The action looks big in the picture. What will it handle?

Looks very nice!

Roughly up to 500 NE, TC1. Mine is a 500/416 NE. I don't think it will go all the way up to 577 NE but there may a rare oddball between them it would accomodate. PM huntingcat and he could say for sure.

That's the nicest forearm I've seen on one of Tom's actions, richj. I spoke with your smith he isn't interested in renting the pattern or stocking mine, he wants to build whole rifles only. I can understand that. But keep those pictures coming!

This is a most handsom rifle. Appears to be good workmanship to boot.

Tell us more about it. Where did the action come from? Was it a casting in kit form?

Who did all the work?

The actions are hand-made from stock by a poster here called huntingcat. You would have to PM him about current workload and pricing.

that is, they are hand made from bar stock of high grade steel. I have forgotten which, but they are SLICK

Thanks guys. This is most interesting, how did I miss these threads? Maybe on the single shot part. I'll do a search.

Is this rifle ( which is very nice) set up for a right handed shooter? Will the release lever hit the trigger finger knuckle?

The breach is open. When it's close the lever is in the upper position.

That pretty much explains everything! Thank you. Again- Very nice rifle.

Huntingcat is a helluva talented fella.

Gorgeous throughout, especially like the very low mounted scope. But the express sight is too far back for anyone over 40.
