Notes: This exotic-looking (some would say weird-looking) single-shot bolt-action rifle was primarily custom-made to the customer’s requirements, but some were made for "off-the-shelf" sales. The Space Rifle, sometimes called the Recoilless Space Rifle due to a design that lends itself to very low recoil for the rounds it fires, resembles nothing so much as a long tube, with a pistol grip, sights, and a rudimentary-looking (though effective and comfortable) stock added on, seemingly as an afterthought. In fact, the Space Rifle is very effective at producing accurate single shots with relatively little recoil. The barrel is a heavy, 24-inch, match-quality design, drilled and tapped for a scope. The sights are detachable, as are the included scope mounts, and a sighting rib of sorts can also be mounted. The weapon is loaded by twisting the fore-end, releasing the barrel to allow it to be pulled forward, and then pulled back again after insertion of a round into the chamber, and then the weapon is cocked by a small handle below the receiver. The trigger is not only adjustable, the normal design was in fact a simple button to be pushed by the thumb. The butt has a recoil pad, and the stock tube also incorporates a recoil dampening device. Considered too odd-looking by most potential customers, the Space Rifle was produced only in small numbers, with production ceasing in the late 1980s.
