I've noticed this before but with my affinity for big bores and black powder have been looking at it again. I normally laugh at all the major companies doing a muzzle loader version of their bolt action, but I must say this doesn't look bad at all. I'm curious as to how you prime it, like through the ejection port or something?
My requisite freakish conversion idea is to machine out a chamber for a proprietary black powder round for brushbusting. Something that would feed like a shotgun round but would have the ballistics of a BP rifle round.
How do you suppose shooting this would compare powerwise and costwise to shooting slugs? Not counting the cost of the proprietary BP rifle shells, of course.
