I stumbled onto this straight pull 22WMR by accident:

Scout configuration does not do much for me in this case, but a straight pull action is interesting.

Has anyone laid eyes on this thing?

Never seen one of those, but I've owned, used, and thoroughly enjoyed the Browning T-bolt straight pull rifles for many years. It is much simpler mechanically than that design. The new version is available in .22LR, .17 HMR, and .22 WMR. I have 2 of them, one in .22 LR and the other in .17 HMR. Straight pull actions are fun to use, especially in a plinker with nonexistent recoil.

I forgot about the T-bolt.  

The SPA action design is based on biathlon rifles which I find fascinating.  The mechanical complexity is, I think there to make a for a shorter and quicker bolt throw, but I could be wrong.  It makes me curious, so I am also looking at Volquartsen Summit for the same reason.

Very like the biathlon rifles you see.

If you thik about biathlon, it's all about time so a quick action you can cycle in the shoulder is highly advantageous
Was sure I had a point when I started this post...

Mrs.BF has the Browning T-bolt in .22lr. I got it for her because it was simpler and easier for her to use than anything else I could find for her, and it's lite weight, and accurate (minute of golf ball) with an excellent trigger. It also comes in .22Mag. and .17HMR.
ILya's rifle looks like a Biathlon rifle, and I'm sure it's a shorter and liter throw than the Browning, that could probably be operated with the thumb, but it just looks bulky.

TWS? maybe?

I think that is what eventually became Volquartsen Summit:


The design was originally made by Primary Weapon Systems.

I would expect the toggle action to be smoother than the t-bolt. T-Bolts have excellent magazines.

Coming from Volquartsen I am guessing that it is very nice. I have yet to handle anything that Volquartsen has produced that wasn't first rate.
