In all the posts, has anyone had a good look at the rifle.

I for example noticed the bolt handle. Will see if I can load up a photo of it. Nicely turned in to the stock, just like the good old vintage ones were. At least to my eye. I remember someone commenting that the Highland rifles ad bolts sticking out more than the vintage rifle examples. My guess is this might be for modern usage, use of gloves in colder climates, and not just a "style" reason. Nevertheless, the "Elephant" rifle does seem to have the older style bolt handle. Agree or disagree? Or no one noticed ...



One image added.
