Bailey, the wood and metal work on that gun look amazing. Nice work! I wasn’t expecting the action to work so fast. Would love to see one up close some day.
Do you also make knives?

I ask because, coincidentally I own a knife crafted by a fellow named Bailey Bradshaw...bought it years ago but I think I got it through a dealer and not direct from the maker.

That is awsome! Looking at it probably woul not be to difficult to make a switch barrel set each having there own block? Thinking about the safety what made you change?

Cope,
Thanks for the kind words on the rifle. It's really a splendid rifle. Has every quality I can think a stalking rifle should have. It carries great, is very accurate, has a wonderful trigger and has plenty of strength.
I did make knives prior to building rifles. I was a full time bladesmith for 12 yrs, and earned Mastersmith rating from the American Bladesmith society. Would enjoy seeing the knife you have.
CTW,
The double rifles on the rising block design are able to be taken down by removing the pin that connects the barrel block to the underlever. On the single shot action, that pin is not exposed like it is on the doubles, so a hole int he side of the action would be required.
Regarding the safety, it simply works better with the trigger/sear mechanism in the Rising block than a traditional tang safety. It blocks both the trigger and sear, and in testing it, I beat the snot out of the action with a wood mallet from every angle and it never disengaged or allowed an accidental firing. It is very easy to operate and feels natural since it's a simple swipe with the thumb.
The Gentleman in the video making the 400yd shot has since shot his Rising block at 600yds with iron sights and printed a 3 shot 2.3 moa group.

man i wish i wasn't old, worn out and broke! i would have a laundry list of these fine rifles 2 pages long! to use the newest generations vernacular Totally Awesome.

Bailey, Are you still in the Wagyu beef business? I have a steer I will be harvesting later this year. I don't have any beef currently....which is really sad.... Thanks everyone for the kind words on the rifle. It has found a home in the Texas hill country. I'll have another one finished soon in 30R blaser.

Deerstalker...”totally awesome” might be from A couple generations back. My 10 year old said “nobody really says that Dad, they’d say ‘that’s sick!’” I can’t keep up. Oh, and Bailey, that rifle is sick!
