John Bolliger - Riflemaker
      #80361 - 12/06/07 02:05 AM

I have a 7 gun collection of his, and I have to say his work is some of the best I have seen on bolt guns anywhere in this country.

Anyone else collect his stuff?

He is making a falling block rifle that has a full length stock. I saw it at SCI. It is light and handy but the metal finish was terrible. I hope it was only a prototype.

I don't know of the single shot gun you speak of, but mine are all outstanding.

Yes I'm an avid hunter, and hunt with all of my guns. I couldn't imagine just collecting, and letting them sit and collect dust.

Sinner:
don't you ever buy any good looking rifles?

the only ones that you have ever posted here are GREAT looking rifles!

a very handsome set!

On another note....I see that that display rack knocks down for storage and travel...did you make it yourself?

I made one for use at our shows but I rather like the one you have,,,, could I be so bold as to ask to see a better (more detailed photo of it).


Thanks in Advance

Thank you for the kind words, yes I do prefer "great looking" over "good" any day.

I puchased a couple dozen of these Admiral Baker racks from a dealer friend of mine Lewis Drake in Kentucky, they are really made well. Here is the link:

*They are fairly expensive; about $600.00 USD ea.

Sinner,

You're going to drive someone to rob a bank or mortgage his grandmother with those pictures. Yes, great rifles as DT rightly pointed out. Thanks for posting their pictures.

Good hunting everyone!

I always enjoy your posts, I would hate it if someone sold there Grandmother though for guns. But hey you gotta do what you gotta do!
