Regulated the second barrel set on a heavily engraved Rising block rifle today. 450-400 3" barrels. It's fun when you get this kind of regulation after 14 rounds. 50yds, but when the barrels are shooting parallel, they will maintain this spread over a great distance.

REALLY nice
Thank you

tell us more about the rifle...

looks austrian? an heavy...

Ed,

It's my own design and work. I call it a Rising Block. Weighs in at a cool 10 1/4lbs with the 450-400 barrels, 11 with the .500NE barrels.

Bailey,
Seriously one of the most interesting, coolest looking actions/guns that I�ve seen in a long time. On the level with George Hoenigs Rotary Round. Awesome!!

Do you still make the little round action .22�s? That was you too wasn�t it??

Funny that you bring up Mr. Hoenig's rotary actions. My design is inspired by his in a way. His action is basically a condensed bolt action. The receiver being the bolt face, and the barrel ring being like the front ring of a bolt action. My design takes a similar approach to a falling block, with the barrel block being like a falling block action body, and the receiver being the breech block respectively. I came up with my design after studying his and the thought hit me, "why can't I do for a falling block what he did with a bolt action".

I do still build the little Hornet's. Just a few
