ER shaw rifle from an owner
I first saw this rifle in a guns and ammo review. I have several custom rifles, along with several weatherby's, Sako's, Winchester's,Brownings, Nosler Customs,and a few Remingtons. Ok buying based on a review not the smartest thing granted.I agree I've not been a fan of that particular action its the only one I own. That being said the action has been modified and is not stock. ER shaw had had it modified with proprietary changes. This action screws right to the the barrel for one.The gun took very little time to arrive at my dealer. When the rifle arrives you get a data sheet with the following.

Not bad for my kick around hunter for the cost of the off the shelf rifles, and in a caliber, barrel flutting of my choice (nice spiral flutes), nice nutmeg stock of my choosing. Has killed multiple African Game and my 67.5 in alaskan moose.
