Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Documenting a build--.280 Rem in Classic American style

Time for an update--it continues to look like a rifle.



The gun spent about 6 weeks with Mike Scherz (Gila River Gun Works, Pocatello ID) getting some custom bases made. I think they look better than Talleys, and also have compensated for some unevenness in the action radius. He also needed to re-thread the rear screws to 8-40 because the existing 6-32 holes were mis-aligned.





Aside from that, most of my hours have been in polishing the metal and sanding/whiskering the stock--none of which is evident in photos, however.

But I am still a sucker for putting denatured alcohol on it to make sure the figure is still there...
