Very Nice!

Certainly would prefer the forward sling-swivel position on your version, Joel!

BTW I find the MS bolt easy to operate with a little practice, placing the thumb firmly on the bolt-handle root before lifting. If you do this, they are virtually as fast to operate, even at the shoulder, as a bolt knob.

The swept-back butter-knife of later models (demanded by Stoeger?) completely stuffs this up, of course! As does an incorrectly-mounted scope.

All that said, I'd love a .458 like the one pictured.

I have always liked the MS. I also find the bolt fairly easy to operate. Tony, I believe that your comment about putting your thumb on top of the bolt is the right way to operate a spoon bolt.

Even better in the flesh, one of the guys in the club owns that rifle.
