.22 Hornet double rifle in action

[Bailey Bradshaw]

I made this little double rifle back in 2010. It’s the first Damascus steel actioned rifle I made. In the UK being enjoyed by it’s owner.

A quote from the owner

“it’s a joy to shoot and with some load development it’s capable of three quarter inch group at 100 yards 4 shots 2 out of each barrel. 40gr Nosler Varmageddon and 12 grains of Lilgun it’s an awesome vermin Rifle.”

As a gunmaker, this brings a great deal of satisfaction

What a neat little varmint/turkey slayer!
So you built this from scratch?

Yes, I designed the action and even forged the damascus billet it was made from. Did everything except drill and rifle the barrels

pictures,pictures, PLEASE! I have a 70,s browning BSS sporter in 20 ga I have thought I would like to converted into a light double rifle, 30-30, 38-55, 44-40 or maybe a 45-70.

Hey guys...google "Bailey Bradshaw of TX builds a double rifle from scratch"

What, no recoil? And not having ejectors could be life threatening when that wounded ground squirrel charges. Nice looking rifle. Congratulations on the accuracy. Some detailed pics would be nice.

I have been watching Bailey’s work for quite some time. It really is amazing. One of these rifles would be on my short list to own. Unfortunately I have to live on a PBR budget during the good years, and a Natural Ice budget most years.

How I would love to have that rifle! I think I would give up buffalo with a .470 double and go to baboons with a .22 hornet double. Or maybe not?

You can do both,...but don't interchange the guns....
