The Second there to protect the First!
I think some one made a small mistake here & put wrong photos up, as I saw this same rifle on British Militaria Forums from 2009 with the same photos ?
It is in .360 No5 from the reports !
I have a Zeller martini action and a 1 piece stock project gun. I bought it about 6 years ago as a 22 K hornet rifle but didn’t like the barrel that was on it and wanted to rebarrel it to 256 Win. Mag. I have a 26” Green Mountain barrel blank in 1-14 twist for it but it seems to be low priority as I have built dozens of other guns since and haven’t got back to finish this one.
The action is quite massive and weighs 2 lbs. 12 oz. and very well made. As you can see it is made for a 1 piece stock and just the top and bottom of the action are out of the stock.

I'm still stopping to admire this rifle every time I see the thread.
