Nah. If I ever decided that my AR rigs weren't able to take care of my needs and only a bolt action would suffice, I'd have a custom, rifle length barrel made for one of my Model 12's with the Varmint Thumbhole stocks. Don't see any cheap, rifle length, aftermarket barrels available. Just carbines. Probably would get a Shilen, if they offer one in 1:24. I already own more rifles and shotguns than I have disposable time to shoot. Not into "safe queens", despite having some.
When my 85yr old Dad goes to the great hunting party in the sky, that number will double.
