When I lived near Nolan and his Wichita machine shop, they were producing a similar pistol in 308 Win, It would drive your elbow into the dirt so hard you had to use a bag to shoot the thing. wonderfully accurate, they were kicking ass in silhouette. never seen this model, but would think it might be a smaller version or something. Bet Gary could re-bore it to something more friendly

Had to look that one up, from the 1980's

I think it was a shortened (1.8") .308 case necked to 7mm. Federal even made a batch of cases for it. The gun is a hand made benchrest shooting machine adapted for a handgun platform. It should be well capable of much under MOA accuracy. The scope alone is worth about half the asking price. A deal.

Ah, faster way to get there. I bet less neck thickness.

I thought it was a cool and well made rig. The 7mm was a little too focused, simply for knocking over steel. Rechambering it to a hot GNR was an attractive option. The spring extractor was the only real weakness I saw in the design.
