Default RE: Nosler 48 Sporter anyone??

have a few questions I'm unsure of.
How is the Nosler 48 action made. Is it investment cast or machined from a billet of steel?
I take it the bolt-handle is a one-piece design? The bottom metal-work. Who makes it?
This months riflemagazine has some closeup pictures of it. It is a HOWA action that has been scalloped, the bolt shroud is custom. Bolt is all Howa as well. Howa action is one of the few actions left in this world that are drop forged and then machined. The entire bolt is one piece.The bottom metal is custom(probably sunnyhill) and the barrel is unknown origin as is the stock. The stock though looks like one out of a NULA but with a floorplate which would explain the light weight of the rifle. Bill Wiseman in Texas I am betting has something to do with this rifle since he is a big proponent of HOWA custom rifles and makes some great barrels and custom rifles.
