I have a sharps replica, in 22 hornet, that might make it back yet,
I haven't noticed any floppiness in my #1, and have striped it as well, but its a mission to reassemble.
I had a hard look, at the luxus single shots, very nice, but a tad heavy,
At least one New Zealand rifle maker, making high end single shots, they were very nice and expensive as all hell.

Soroka I beleive, about $18k USD.

Nice. Love that H&H. I have also seen the Lyman Sharps your referring to, they look very nice.

I'm not sure about the 20" bbl on the 6.5x55 but figure 120's and faster burning powder will work just fine for deer to 300m.

I have seen what is on offer at Wilsons. But the 257 Bob would not perform that great in such a short barrel. A .243 would be about perfect I think.

The ultimate would be a Blaser K95...
