Yeah, I figured the Old Ones had already tried this, just never saw one before.

Terry, that's a delicious .22! "Bolt action things", huh? I agree, although I admit (under examination by the ASSRA Inquisition) to a sneaking admiration of single shot Krags, M-S carbines rimmed and rimless, and those homely Savage 23s. Just El Malo whispering in my ear, I guess.

Whitey, this style would make great sense to me on a Mauser: it avoids the PITA octagon inletting of the forend and it leaves the barrel full thickness right where you need the strengh for high-pressure calibers and for heat dispersal in rapid fire (assuming you have a need for that in sporting situations, which most don't).

Thanks for the responses!
