This sort of single shot is not very common in Oz and still consider myself more then fortunate to have one in the safe. Its the ONLY rifle I own that is either in the safe or in my sight. I dote over it and will be the last to go if I ever I have to sell up. It was made by Scheiring of Austria and is a 7x65R. It weights little and makes one feel like a real dandy when out hunting.

Some beautiful probably extremely well balanced rifles.

The Fanzoj is absolutely exquisite.

One day I would love a light weight single in a long range calibre for mountain hunting.

While we are on the subject I must bring up a question that has been nagging me. Has anyone ever seen in the flesh a a H&H Royal sidelock single? If so was it a bar action or back action lock? here is one of Max Ern's ....

If I am not mistaken, the need for a single to have a back action lock would not be as great as it is in a double. There would be plenty of bar strength on the off side, right?
Do bar actions have an inherently more powerful spring or a more reliable spring than a back action?

BTW, the item which sparked my original post should arrive today

Clearly, that Max guy doesn't know what a good gun is supposed to look like! Geeeeez...

I believe it to be true that bar action locks should suffice on a single. The only good picture of a British single best quality Nitro sidelock I have found is of a Purdey with a bar action lock chambered in .246 on page 33 of Tate's British Gun Engraving. An good book if you don't have it.

From memory the early break action BP guns were predominantly back action.

Huvius, what is your compaint against the Ernst's workmanship? Their's are the only new rising bite actions I have seen in completed form. And they are completely built in-house, or better yet "in-family": Max Ern and his son Max jun. do all the gunsmithing including barrel rifling and colour case hardening, while his wife Evelyn Ern does the engraving. I recommend you take a look at their homepage, in English:
http://www.max-ern.com/english/home.htm
At least, I do not know any other shop or family with comparable capbilities in gunmaking.

I believe Mr. Huvius was being sarcastic.....there is nothing not to like on Mr. Ern's guns from my point of view. Max Ern is absolutely at the top of his game. He is truly an inspiration.

Maybe I need to get just a little bit heavier with the tongue in cheek comments. I can't believe anybody took me seriously!
I stand before you, hand on heart, and affirm that Max Ern does in fact know what a best gun should look like.
And he (they) nailed it on that one.
The ONLY thing I would want different is that I like to see the third bite come up through the loop on the rib extension as done on a Rigby double. Just looks neat with the black of the barrel, the steel of the action and the fire blue (?) of the bite. Nice contrast of colors that way.
I was all excited about my Rigby break action, now I might feel too ashamed to show it...

Crummy indoor pictures, but a start. I will get some good outdoor pics this weekend if the weather cooperates.
This Rigby began life as a 303 British. Like so many 303's, it had a poor bore but lots of meat in the barrel so was rebored/chambered by Rigby in 400/350.
The scope is original and numbered to the gun. Overall, a pretty nice gun and one you don't come across that often.

Huvius,

Interesting rifle and a nice useful calibre in .350.

What do you use it for? Collection or also hunting? Thanks.

NitroX, just got it two days ago, so nothing to report yet.
I could see using this for Elk hunting. That would be nice.

At this time Bailey Bradshaw is working on a break open side lever single shot rifle in 7x65r for me it is going to be a light weight stalking rifle of the old school, I have seen the starting photos and it looks to be a outstanding design.

I see Ceska Zbrojovka Brno is back as a separate entity to CZ, retained all the logos etc.

They offer the Brno Effect... while the base level ones seem rather plain and a bit agricultural, they do offer a custom engraving service, a Lux, and a fullwood version.

http://www.czub.cz/en/catalog/105-zbrane-brno-rifles/OUBR/BRNO_EFFECT.aspx

I believe these are being sold into the US market but not Australia... anyone handled one?

One in 7x64R could be interesting...

Here is mine, not quite on the same level, but it shoots straight and only cost $130.00.
