Anybody own one of these SINGLE SHOT RIFLES? I think they come in .22 Hornet, .223 and Ruger   .204

As far as I can tell they're not shipping them yet. I checked them out at the SHOT show in February, and they look pretty neat for the money. The barrel is gonna be a bear to change, so you gotta want what caliber you buy. I have been watching, but no sign they're in the system yet. I really want one of the hornets to play with!

if the barrel is a bear to change- maybe that will lock it up so tight it will be a very accurate shooter, especially if the have it bedded.

This is new to me, I guess I've not been paying attention.  When did they start making a single shot?  Is it supposed to come out this year?  Bolt action?  I may try one in the 204 I haven't used that cal yet.

they've been advertising it and I see by their website it's now in production and ready for delivery, but I haven't read any reports on it or seen one on the shelves yet.
