This rifle was expertly crafted by John Bolliger of Mountain Riflery based on a controlled feed style bolt action. Bolliger is known for his high end sporting rifles and has been building custom rifles since 1966. He is credited with raising more for conservation groups than any other riflemaker in history. The barrel was made without provisions for fixed sights and is marked "325 Winchester/SHORT MAGNUM" on the left and "John Bolliger/RIFLEMAKER" on the right side. The serial number is marked on the tang and the partial "5128" is marked on the bolt. It has a jeweled bolt with a blued handle with checkered design on the knob. It is fitted on a triple -x- fancy English grade walnut pistol grip stock with fleur-de-lis checkering on the forearm and grip, contrasting ebony forend cap, blued skeletal grip cap, shadow line cheek rest, decelerator recoil pad, and sling swivel studs. According to the Mountain Riflery website, their walnut is carefully selected from sources around the world and is purchased directly from the cutter before being carefully aged in Idaho for several years to ensure proper solidifying and stabilizing. It is equipped with a Z6 1.7-10 x 42 Swarovski scope with a silver eagle on the left side. Swarovski is known for their incredibly clear optics and precision. This example is no exception and is more than fitting for this high end sporting rifle.
