Great to see someone has picked up with George Hoenig's concept. It would be a shame if the ones George made were the only ones (now he has stopped making them)
Bailey is making me one, with 2 barrels, one in 7x65r and 9.3x74r! The 7x65r will have a full mannlicher forehand and the 9.3 a regular stalking forehand! I can’t wait to have it in my hands!! Thanks for the video it was great!
Amazing rifle...and Bailey is an amazing craftsman/artist. Who else can build a complete rifle of this nature, without farming anything out beyond the boring and rifling of the barrel?
Extraordinary gun! With that sort of locking, new cartridges with much higher pressures could be used, which is a bit of an unexpected twist in the world of gunmaking. Considering break actions always have been considered less strong than bolt actions!
They are actually rising blocks. Bailey put a twist on the falling block design by making a rising block. At first it doesn't seem to make any difference, but after seeing it in person, I prefer the rising block!
I guess the old saying of "If you have to ask how much it costs,,, you cannot afford it" would be the case with that fine looking rifle. Nice review. Have you test fired it yet? I was not aware of such a mechanism, and I have several copies of G.D., S.B. and many different firearms and hunting magazines going back to the 1930's. Probably make a good article to double check for / read one of these upcoming wintry days.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I did get a chance to fire it and it was only a hair to the left after just slapping the scope on it- no bore sighting done at all. They might be more affordable than you think! Bailey is a very reasonable man and a true gentleman to work with.
I still would like to know how much it costs. Then you know how much you need to save up. I would love to own one of these but I don't know if I would be able to ship it to Sweden.
I still haven’t been able to get my hands on a Hoenig rifle yet. I think having either one would make the owner proud. The question comes down to cost, and to that end I think the scale is in Bradshaw’s favor. He will build it anyway the customer desires. Even without handling a Hoenig, I can’t imagine the Hoenig rifle being a step above what Bradshaw produces.
Thanks for this video, beautiful rifle! Its on my list of dream guns.
Awesome rifle and the quick detach scope is very nice.
Bailey's rifles are a work of art.

Absolutely beautiful rifle. Great to see some new content.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you liked it. Incredible firearm.

You’re going to love it!
@@thegeorgiasportsman9570 I sure Hope so hahaha, supposed to be ready for hunting season(stats in august up here!! )
deat lord that is a great idea
This action is so cool. I love finding these rare and unusual weapons. My favourite models are western guns.
Just gotta say that these guns are absolutely beautiful! It must be an honor to own one.
It is an honor. His rifles are beautiful, but it is a higher honor to know upstanding men such as Bailey Bradshaw.

Agreed! Bailey makes amazing firearms!

Love his falling block doubles
They are actually rising blocks. Bailey put a twist on the falling block design by making a rising block. At first it doesn't seem to make any difference, but after seeing it in person, I prefer the rising block!
It’s my dream to one day build a rifle this beautiful from scratch. Cheers to you and Bailey
Good luck in your endeavor! It’s a work of art for sure!
Came back to watch again! Mine is taking a bit more time to get finished, but should still be able to hunt with it this year!
I think you’ll find it well worth the wait. Bailey is a one man shop but the end result is simply amazing works of functional art!
envious, wrote him to put in my order
Tito Ortiz goes country!
I have been told that from time to time, but I met him in person once and his neck is thicker than my head! Lol!

@@johanjonasson4188I heard about $30,000 / rifle
Nowhere near that. I just ordered a Rising Block, which is more expensive than the rotary, and the Rising Block was under $10k. @@MatthewPerlee
That's one way to make brake action look a lot better
But which is best this one or George's

my understanding is he is making rimmed catridges only in this gun
