A Different Twist: Bradshaw BRSS Review
Philip Massaro Philip Massaro
5 days ago



A review of the Bradshaw BRSS, a rifle that offers a new twist on the bespoke Hoenig rotary action.
When walking the aisles of the Dallas Safari Club Convention, I always enjoy seeing the handiwork of those bespoke rifle makers and smaller rifle shops. While SHOT Show has a huge selection of firearms, ranging from airguns to the latest high-tech black rifles, the DSC Convention is geared more toward hunters. If you want to hold the finest double rifle or a rifle made specifically for the most rugged terrain on earth, it’ll be at DSC.

Bradshaw Gun & Rifle is renowned for rising-block single-shot and double rifles, as well as the side lever falling-block designs. But after catching up a bit, I spied a unique rifle among Bradshaw’s better-known stuff, one with a perfectly round receiver; I was immediately intrigued. “This is my take on the Hoenig-style rifle, but this one is a single-shot,” he said.

The strength of that action must be unbelievable!
The lugs surface area is enormous!
I'm assuming here that extraction is by pulling straight back with the butt stock?
Absolutely top notch work MrB!

I agree. Why? It does not look like it's a useful design. As an exercise, something different.

This rifle is something differenty but doesn't look better than a good falling block.

I thought the Hoenig double rifle was interesting from what I read (never saw one in person) but perhaps because the very high cost and not being better thana traditional SxS or O/U, didn't take off. Still, the Hoenig DR did get some very good reviews.
