[Bob Riebe]

CALIBERS: 9.3x62 (only with 3-round magazine) or 35 Whelen, 280 Rem, 300 Win Mag, 30-06

If you want to see some thing a bit different, click on the link and check out the videos.
It is best if you do it in a brower that has internal TRANSLATE function, but even if you can't read it the:

Linear Recocking
Stop & Go
Front Linear (Slide Action)
Semi-Auto

The Videos are rather interesting, --  as far as I know, no one in the U.S. makes either of the first two types.

At that the gent who wrote up the article on the Sako .370, that Graybeard linked else where, and babbled asinine reasons about U.S. not using
metric;   while the .370 is not offered here, check the calibers each type of rifle is offered in, they do have the 9.3x62  and several 7 mm types  but most calibers are U.S. Imperial measure calibers, not metric.
It is odd though , how , in each action type, different models have different calibers available.

You could , ten years ago, get these from Canadian gun dealers, at not bad prices, but I doubt that is allowed any more.

 I wonder if that is anything like the French Gevarm .22 rifles ?   The Gevarm fires from an open bolt..just as does the M3 "grease gun" many of us
   used in the military.

 Often referred to as a "slam fire", Winchester tried the idea in their model 55.  Seems like an unnecessarily long action, and who wants to have a bolt slam forward at the instant one pulls the trigger?

   Interestingly, the model 55 was a "single shot automatic" !  Whaaat? ..sounds like some designer was drinking bore cleaner...
