Has anyone ever shot one of Doc's modern in-lines, thinking about buying this one.
Doc White's writing: - A few years back I lucked into some new old stored White .504 barrel blanks by Criterion, bought when White Systems went under. They are 20 years old but in perfect condition. Criterion made the best barrels White ever used.
Pictured above is a new Custom Bison, the Criterion bull barrel is trimmed to one inch diameter, 24+ inches long, (the originals had a 20 inch barrel), 504 caliber, with a new Doc-designed custom stock in tough maple, designed specifically for use with a scope. Old stored original Bison parts complete the action. The trigger is by Timney, same as on a Mauser bolt rifle, adjustable for weight of pull. The rifle can be ordered with Weaver scope bases and Weaver forward mounts which you will need to get the extra eye relief demanded by the short BG-Series action. Or it can be ordered with a choice of front and rear sights, including the Lyman 57-a side mounted peep or several models of Williams rear and front sights. (see Parts &Supplies under “ON SALE” for sight choices) The rifle comes with a black matte Dura-Coat finish on the barreled action and blackish metallic paint on the stock. Prices start at $600 with cost of scope mounts and sights extra. Tiger striped maple stocks with waterproof epoxy finish are available at extra cost, usually $200 or so but depending on quality of wood.
The right and left photos show a finished Bison without included sling swivels but with Weaver scope mounts and front and rear sights.
The basic charge for the rifle without the sights or mounts but with sling swivels is $600. These rifles are super accurate, functionally elegant, ergonomic and worth every penny.
