The only downside is chasing those expensive empties to reload!

Nope. It's domestic. They called it a "straight pull bolt action. One of the most awkward and silly designs ever. Very light though. It's a stevens 124c.

Well then, that's the thing I learned today.
Sad statement on my day that it took till almost 17:00 to learn something.
I wonder, were they aiming to contend with a particular hunting regulation at one time? Curious way to go. Maybe a manufacturer's attempt to make up for a failed semi-auto?

That's the one I would have bought too; .22LR and 20 gauge.

The bolt/ charging handle is also the action lock on the 124. Have to pull it out to cycle the action then push it back in to be in battery. There is a lock for that just like the action lock on a pump. So it's nearly impossible to do with the gun shouldered and aimed. No worse than a bolt action i suppose
They also used a polymer stock that was brittle. Most are cracked. Made 47-52

That's why I sold the A400 in preference to the 686. I couldn't find a shell catcher for the A400 and a rubber band was hit and miss luck catching the hulls. I bought the 686 and had Coles change it to extract only for $40. Now I don't have to chase those hulls anymore. Thanks again for your help getting me started on reloading those 28ga hulls.

Good ole 37!
An 870 Ducks Unlimited parkerized model that I bought from another member here about 8 years ago.
Savage M24V, .357 Magnum over 20 gauge. It is my daughter's preferred deer killer with my special .357 loads. Has punched through two large does for her.
Sorry about the poor lighting, 870 Special Field, 25" barrel with choke tubes. Only gun I have never missed a skeet target with. I shot a 50 straight the day after I bought it and retired it to the gun safe.
Here is my old boat anchor, a 1937 Winchester 1897 with a poly choke. Actually one of my favorite skeet guns. Ran a 50 straight from the hip on the skeet range with this one a couple years ago, tried a third round but ended up missing a couple for a 73 out of 75.
A CZ Huglu 20 gauge, nice little shotgun.
Beretta 682 Supersport, 30" barrels with a carrier barrel with 20, 28, and .410 Kolar sporting tubes with a ll choke tubes. Matched weight within half an ounce fro 12 to .410. Good solid workhorse for skeet and sporting clays.
Got about 20+ more shotguns of assorted flavors, mostly Remington 870's and 1100's.
My Winchester M12 from 1963 with Fajon wood. Another workhorse.

Their sporting clays editions always have (still do) nice wood. The 28 gauge I had had some awesome wood; made selling it quick and easy.

Some make fun of them, but not one of these 1300's has failed to work when called upon. The young boy in this picture has since gotten a degree and became a Captain in the Marine Corps.

I grew up with this Remington model1900,
It was built in 1905,
Dad bought it in the 40's from a family that was moving, for $10.00,
As you can see, it's been fixed up a bit since then,
it went through all of us kids and was pretty beat up by the time it became mine, the stock had nails in it and was cracked, so I wanted it back to looking good and something I would use...
The last four pheasants I shot with it, my dog flushed two roosters and I got a right and a left. I had just picked them up, when my dog got on another trail, and flushed two more roosters! And I got another right and a left! I think that was my best day ever pheasant hunting. lol
