Have you ever seen the move Legionair with Jaun Claude Van Dame in it? Remeber the single shot bolt action rifles they were using? What were those?

  As I recall, they use Model 1886 Lebels. They're not really single-shot; they have a tubular magazine. But there's a magazine cutoff, so that, since the tubular magazine is so slow to load, the rifle can be used as a single shot until the need for rapid fire makes the use of the magazine necessary.

  Yea, thats it thanks.I actually have heard a little history about Lebels in a previous post. I heard that the first models of them were single shot, but they were later converted to use tubular magazines. Well I guess I have another gun I have to add to my list...
