"460- Doc-built Pauley style half stock
sporting rifle in 504 caliber, utilizing a
Doc-designed White M97 action and
fast-twist barrel. Like all Pauley's, this
one has a false sidelock with false
hammer, action is in-line with White
nipple-breechplug, Barrel is true White
504 caliber with 1-24 twist and is in
perfect condition, and is accurized.
I won a stand up match with it not
along ago, takes down with a single
fore-arm key and an under-belly
screw, has a hooked breech so comes
out of the stock easily, Also has a long
tang so tall Vernier rear sight fits on metal,
not wood. Front sight is Lyman hooded with
inserts, Hickory ramrod with brass ends
tapped for accessories. Laminate stock,
finished a deep reddish brown to mimic the
old time English style and color. Inch thick
recoil pad. Many English rifles of the period
had leather covered recoil pads, this is as
close as I could get. The safety, which locks
the hammer, is on the lock plate. It's sparsley
engraved and finished with Black Ice Teflon
so will be great in wet weather. It's the perfect
rifle for the traditionalist minded who also wants
the best of modern technology.
Note the case hardened safety behind
the false hammer. The single trigger
pulls off at about three lbs. The fore-end
tip is dark wood resembes the ebony
that the original maker might have used.
Pull is 14 inches over an inch thick recoil
pad. The rifle is exceptionally accurate
with light loads and ball or heavy loads
and 460-480 grain bullet..."
It sure looks novel!
