Could anybody tell me if the bolt handle on the original one is machined from one pice with the bolt?
Or is it welded on from the factory?
Also, I have great news that Duane Wiebe is making bottom metall for these actions now! He has made the prototype.. I got a e-mail last night conferming it.

An old thread, but worth tagging for monthly lust......
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. --Winston Churchill

Here are a few more. Shane and James did an amazing job on this rifle. It made the cover of ACGG's Gunmaker magazine last year with a really nice write up about it. It was also named "Miss June" in the 2012 calender on sale at Brownells. This was just a neato project and I can't say thank you enough to Shane Thompson, James Anderson and Roger Kehr for allowing me to share it's progress with you guy's from start to finish. Terry

Oh yeah, it's been to the range a few times now. I can manage 1" groups with the little 2.5 power scope. I'm sure it has more in it. I poked a doe it this year too . I wanted to hunt it more but I didn't get to go much myself.

Has to be the all over best of the best in my book and the build essay and pics has top spot in my favourites folder. Terry's vision and the associated wood and metal artists who bought it into being have raised the bar for all. Von Gruff.

Wow! I just ran through this thread. What an incredible project. That is one of the most beautiful works of art I've ever seen.
