I'll let you guys decide...But my goodness this thing is beautiful! Would love to see the bolt on it. Two of these pics would have sufficed to show the whole rifle (the compilation ones), but i'll upload all of them to here.

Looks very good. I dont`t know if this is the nicest one but definitely the most expensive .22 LR rifle which I have seen. It would be nice to look what´s under the magazine bottom plate....

I was thinking exactly that.
I would think that the floorplate opens and the rotary magazine can be dropped out the bottom as a regular Ruger 77/22 does.

That certainly is nice, but I for an iron sighted (& scoped) rifle, an H&H DR in .22 LR would be "nicer" as a usable gun.

But heck, they can certainly come up amazing, this has inspired me to try something :P

And I thought my Kimber 82 Super America was the nicest .22 in the world. What incredible craftsmanship.Has anyone noticed that the rifle is built with a Ruger (investment cast) 7722 action?
I would have used a pre-war Oberndorf Mauser like Dorleac's masterpiece. But That's just me.
