Mike, that sounds exactly like mine, I assume you've pointed the owner to the thread on here?, if he wants any info he's more than welcome to contact me, Saddler has my details or just PM me.

Re: Southern Gun Company New rifle
Just heard from the owner,
"The rifle loaded a round and was fired upon doing so the rear of the case split , the bolt back , the rear of the top rail cracked about 1 ½ inch at the rear , the metal section that holds the top and bottom section pin sheared and the mag disintegrated onto the floor. "
Deja Vu?, exactly the same damage as mine.

Lantac, please make one that works. Pretty please, with sugar and sprinkles on top!

Re: Southern Gun Company New rifle
I can't think of a competition where increased action speed would provide a decisive advantage over accuracy. As far as I know, they can all be won with a bolt gun. Which comps are we talking about?John MH wrote:What competitions would need to have the timings adjusted for these rifles?

Re: Southern Gun Company New rifle
As far as I know, the fastest comp is 2 shots in 3 seconds Could you really do that with a bolt gun?

Re: Southern Gun Company New rifle
If you can put three tracer in the air at the same time with a bolt gun and take 34 aimed shots in one minute with an SMLE then 2 shots in 3 seconds with a bolt gun is doable.

Re: Southern Gun Company New rifle
To be honest the SGC Unicorn (lever release) is at a disadvantage speed wise compared to someone who can shoot a lever action properly.

Re: Southern Gun Company New rifle
Are we not speaking about Gallery Rifle competitions for the 9mm?
