500 Nitro Express Vierling by Ozwald Prinz

I thought of adding this to the IWA thread, but then posted it separately because of the novelty of the gun in question. Ozwald Prinz bases his creations on Blaser systems, and he has a very interesting website.

Wonder what it weighs? Bit of a regulation nightmare, I'd expect.

What a beast, I guess it handles like a railroad tie. Interesting to see that is based on the Jäger kipblock design. Blaser are hardly the inventors of this fine action design but simply "borrowed it"

I only had a brief look before and did not notice those tusks.
What nonsense!

And to make it worse, its one of those overhanging moving block actions! Ergh!

Still, recoil would undoubtedly be manageable.....
