It comes as no surprise that generations of the world's most accomplished hunters have chosen to use magazine rifles from our extensive range to complement their fieldcraft, patience and skill.

The single shot falling block designs and the 'rook and rabbit' breech loaders of the late 19th Century helped to establish Holland & Holland as the finest riflemaker of the day, however it was the subsequent adoption of the reliable multi-shot bolt action that helped to spread this fame far and wide.

The Holland & Holland bolt action, quintessentially the classic British magazine rifle, is available in most modern British, European and American calibres, ranging from .240 to .500. Our proprietary calibres are included within this range, the most notable being the .375 Holland & Holland Magnum Belted Rimless, widely acclaimed as the most versatile cartridge for the big game hunter.

Our modern magazine rifles maintain an enviable reputation and are based on the original Mauser action, fully renovated and adapted for the chosen calibre. A new single-stage trigger mechanism and a purpose-made magazine box are fitted to ensure perfect function. Alternative action designs may be ordered, as in the case of a left-handed shot.

Our rifles enjoy a reputation for durability and are suited to all kinds of testing conditions, whether it be on a wet hill in Scotland stalking a Royal stag, or on the hot dusty plains of Africa, where a more exotic beast might be the quarry. When travelling to remote locations, the reliability of equipment is imperative, and this is particularly true of a rifle. It was with this in mind that we designed the quick detachable telescopic sight mount, of rugged yet precise construction, that allows for simple and rapid removal and subsequent refitting of the scope, without the need to re-zero the rifle. This feature also reduces the risk of damage during travel, or in the event of rough handling.

As with all of the Holland & Holland range, the bolt action rifle is normally built and finished to order for a specific customer to individual requirements and specifications, although new rifles are sometimes available for immediate sale in our gunrooms. The standard specification for Holland & Holland bolt action rifles includes an adjustable trigger, a side-safety for use with a telescopic sight, a wide-V rearsight with one folding leaf, a fine bead foresight with protector, loops for a sling and an oiled finish walnut stock, with cheek piece, pistol grip and recoil pad. There is no finer hunting rifle.

The Holland & Holland magazine rifle has been proven to represent the finest combination of function, elegance and practicality, creating a rifle guaranteed to bring pleasure and success to generations of hunters.
