I doubt I'd buy a custom made gun and even more unlikely would be getting one in a custom caliber.If you decide to buy, remember that there are lots of silhouette shooters who have given up the hobby. That means there are a bunch of gorgeous, custom bolt pistols in the backs of gun safes that haven't been used in decades. The asking prices on those things tends to be high because people remember how much they spent getting them built. The real value is usually much lower. Feel free to make lowball offers. Especially if you're willing to reload for a weird chambering, you might luck into a surprisingly affordable pistol.
Nosler. Expensive and zoomy so I really want one but I can't justify the outlay.The only other current manufacturer of stock bolt action pistols seems to be Keystone Sporting Arms
One Darne 28 ga, one Charlin, cannot remember if 12 or 16 ga at the moment.Darnes?
That one pictured is one of their express rifles. The action is strong enough with what looks like a metal rod extends back at the top, between the two barrels and has a hole in the underside, where a locking lug raises up in the sliding breech to provide a locking lug to lock the breech and barrels firmly together. The toggle rides over into its recess to provide locking also. The made rifles in calibers for large dangerous game at one time. The Charlin was a "copy" with some improvements. The sliding breech on it rides on hidden ball bearings and is very smooth. The breech block is fitted so close to the receiver that the junction looks like a fine line of engraving. Mine is not one of the higher grades, but has some scroll like engraving that crosses from breech block to receiver. The instant the toggle drops into it's recess, the engraving all lines up.Never heard of a sliding breech shotgun before. Looked it up and think the design is intriguing; my guess is expensive too. Ah yes, too expensive for me: https://www.rockislandauction.com/d...rne-double-barrel-sliding-breech-shotgun-with
