I have met the man who makes these rigs,and have handled both SxS & U/O versions. I was surprised,despite all the metal you see, they are not over weight. I think Ti plays a big part in its composition. | |||

it's quite impressive and well done. I actually like the looks and my hat is off to the builder. Very innovative and original. That said it's far overpriced for me and further I'd not open the checkbook at even a tenth of that. It's possibly too much of a good thing.....a solution for a problem that don't exist me thinks. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Innovative but a real mess. The rifle is clubby, awkward, overweight. Like riding Percheron in cutting horse competion. | |||

The rifle is awesome. I wouldn't trust it with a buffalo charging though. Having a single barrel bolt gun jam is bad enough. Having two barrels jam. I don't think he was thinking of the KISS theory when he built it. Mink and Wall Tents don't go together. Especially when you are sleeping in the Wall Tent. DRSS .470 & .500 | |||

As I posted on this rifle in another thread, I admire the engineering to make this rifle. However after handling it at the Dallas Safari Club Convention, I found it bulky and it did not balance well in my hands. The bolts do not rotate and do not lock up front. The only lock up is on the locking ring at the rear of the action. Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.
