Hi everyone!

I can't find any 1920-30ish Investigator-type with a bolt-action/hunting rifle, could anyone help me
I'm sadly not interested in any Copplestone and Blue Moon miniatures, they are great sculpts but I find them a bit big, compared to me Artizan and black Cat bases miniatures

Maybe some hunter type from Foundry Darkest Africa or Woodbine Design? The latter tend to carry mostly shotguns but they should be fairly easy to swap.

Some (ex-)soldier might be an option too?

Have you checked out Pulp Figures? A number of his packs have characters with bolt action rifles.

There is the guy on the right. He is from the Armed Archeologist pack, though I don't remember which company made him.
EDIT: Sorry he's from Copplestone.

Just say it's papa's double rifle from his Africa days and save yourself the conversion work. After all, any investigator worth his salt is going to want to "use enough rifle" and if a double-barrelled .600 Nitro Express won't do the job, it's time to get out of Dodge.

thanks guys, think im going to order the Copplestone pack "armed archaeologists", even if the miniatures are on the large side of the scale.
Copplestone actually have an "Cthulhu-ish" statue in there 15mm line that is kinda nice.

A blot-action rifle? Sounds like something Nigel Molesworth might use!

How about Musketeer Miniatures' 1920s IRA volunteers?
