SDH is certainly a master, especially with this type of action and profile.

I'm waiting on my Hagn from Martin and should be in my hands in the spring. Anticipation is something, isn't it???

Wonderful! I think I have seen some sneak peeks of this rifle in SDH's articles in Sports Afield. You should ask him to do a full article on your rifle when its done!

Very nice stuff Mike. Let me know how you like it, I have been throwing around the idea of picking up a Hagn in 300H&H.

Mike what is Steve's gunmaking history? I have never heard of him before. He really looks to do top notch work from the photos you posted.

General, about 4 years ago I decided I would like a single shot, started reading about actions, there is a fairly old book by a chap whose name I cannot remember (the book is in my London flat) and it is a sort of "bible" about single actions. Then I started researching more about these actions and the Martini Hagn kept coming up as the strongest ever made. Who make it Martin and Hagn, and Mr Hughes had written an article about it, see

http://www.martiniandhagngunmakers.com/technicalinfo.htm

More phone calls and Mr D Hughes name came up a lot with regard to single shots, check Amazon, I think Steve has published 3 or 4 books, I bought them and liked what I saw. I then called three independant gun critics (Steve didnīt know that till now. All to a man said Steve was the chap to do a single shot but I WOULD HAVE TO BE PATIENT ! Cut a long story short I combined a business trip in Toronto to a visit to Steve in Livingstone, Montana, a very good weekend. And thats that, buy the books, see what you think, what I was surprised at was the blank Steve recommended, I was frankly underwhelmed but he was spot on. Also I know he has had to adjust the inletting on two customers Luciano Bosisīs and you donīt let someone do that unless you have supreme trust in them. Last of all I like him !
best
Mike

Great choice Mike! Thanks for the information, looks to be a superb gun in every regard. The Hagn system is the finest modern design available.

Sorry Mike - just saw this. I'll see what I can do - work is a bit manic just now, but will have a dig...
