    Shame they couldn't be bothered to fit a proper breech bolt, though!

    The annoying thing is Tone, they did for a while to a few of their rifles and then reverted back to a pin, I know their bolt setup may not be as good as HW's but it's worked for me over the years and I've never had a problem with it.
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
