Is anyone out there an actual owner of the 223 Single Shot? Would love to hear some impressions/range reports....

I just saw a couple of SS rifles for the first time. One was steel, the other brass, both in ..44 Mag. They had very impressive workmanship and wood quality. I could not try the triggers because both had locks. I did operate the action levers and was happy to see that they take no real effort, unlike my Contenders, which I sold off because it was getting to the point where I could not comfortably operate them.

I still think they are too darned heavy and a small bore rifle would weigh even more than these .44s..... I would love to see a shorter lightened model in .327 Federal. Maybe an 18” fluted barrel? Threaded muzzle? Is that asking too much?
