Shilen Rifles, Inc. Returns to Rifle Manufacturing ENNIS, TX – After a hiatus of nearly twenty years, Shilen Rifles, Inc. is proud to announce their return to the rifle manufacturing market. After several years of painstaking research and development, Shilen is now producing complete rifles that will fill the need of any accuracy minded shooter. Each rifle’s foundation is a CNC precision crafted stainless steel action. Actions are available in either a DGR (repeater) or a DGV (varminter) configuration. Both are immediately available for right and left-hand shooters. Both actions have a 1.350” diameter and feature 8-40 scope base mounting screw holes. The bolts are spiral fluted, have a floating bolt head, an interchangeable bolt handle knob and are available in most common bolt faces. Each will be offered with a .300” pinned recoil lug for added stability. These actions feature a footprint similar to the Remington Model 700 and will accept many aftermarket components. The actions are matched up with legendary, world record breaking Shilen barrels and triggers from Shilen. The barrels feature a 1-1/16” - 20 barrel thread and are attached to the action by a barrel nut. This provides the shooter the ability to have one action for multiple cartridges. With minimal effort, shooters can change from a .223 Remington to a .204 Ruger or a .22-250 to a 6mm BR in a matter of minutes. Shooters can choose between a sporter weight wood stock or a variety of McMillan fiberglass stocks. The possibilities are nearly endless. The entire package is delivered in a high-quality gun case containing a leather table mat, cleaning rod, bore guide, cleaning solvent, bore patches, patch jag and bore brush. Initial delivery will be limited to thirty rifles per month. Call 972.875.5318 or send an email to comments@shilen.com for more information. Shilen will start to accept orders on May 1, 2010.

What an incredible idea. But I would have made the nut a hex so you could use a standard crescent wrench, and, to keep the folks at Savage off my ass. _______________________________________________________________________________ This is my rifle, there are many like it but this one is mine.

Agreed. I can hardly wait to read the rumour somewhere that Savage is making these actions for Shilen. Once that rumour is out there on the internet, it will possibly never die. My country gal's just a moonshiner's daughter, but I love her still. | |||

I think Butch has already mentioned elsewhere, and that information is posted on Savageshooter.com, that Stiller is making the actions. I don't think their will be any issues. JC | |||

Looks like Stiller receiver, Kiff bottom metal and is probably supplying the bolt as well. | |||

I was thinking the same thing. If Stiller provides the receiver, why should they choose a PT&G bolt, though?? Stiller's standard bolt handle looks very much like the one in the picture. - mike ********************* The rifle is a noble weapon...

The new Bighorn Custom Action is offering the two piece floating bolt head also. Only 50+ years after the Savage, http://www.bighornarms.com/benefits.php Frank "I don't know what there is about buffalo that frightens me so.....He looks like he hates you personally.

Drifting pins. They must have dropped the punch before the pic was took. "Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson. | |||

They are all probably sitting around saying, "damn we made a Savage, I wonder if it will shoot as well". Ok, I know my bias is showing. It's just a Shilen, it ain't nothing special.

For me I think I'll just keep buying rugers. | |||

Since they forget to attach the trigger and left it laying on the table they give you the hammer so you can whack the cocking piece on the bolt, thus firing the rifle. | |||
