Hi All,



I just became the new owner of this D.R. Stromer Single Shot in 30'06. I know nothing about the maker of this rifle, supposed to be custom made in Germany. It looks like a copy of the Winchester high-wall but has an extra screw in the lower action. Also it is for a rimless case, which I thought unusual for this type of action. Any info one of you may have on this maker or rifle will be appreciated. Since I'm not much of a 30'06 guy, I will probably make up another barrel or two for it, any suggestions, using the 30'06 head diameter??

The whole style of action, stocklines and engraving is US-American, maybe trying to appear vaguely continental. But not German.

By the way, the engraving is extremely bad. Not really a "custom job", IMHO. Second-year engraver apprentices are expected to do much better already.
