I really got a thing for manual actions.

Bolt guns, revolvers, single and double actions, levers, straight pulls.... I don't know what it is... they don't shoot as fast, they may or may not be as accurate. Its like an automatic car, takes all the fun out of driving...

Here's a little bit of eye candy to make reading worth your while:

I MUST know more about the straight-pull rimfire in the bottom photo! Pretty please?

It is a browning T-bolt, new variety (made in Miroku, Japan), it was a limited run with a varmint stainless barrel, nickel plated receiver, and bench rest style laminated stock. 22LR, super accurate, but didn't care for the magazine system or the plastic trigger housing, so sold it.

The action however, was extremely fun to operate.

I really like the concept. Gonna have to track one down and see how it feels. Might be a new addition in the future.

Also, I share your addiction to manual action firearms, just something a bit more pure and 'fun' about them.
