You can no more tell someone how to do something you've never done, than you can come back from somewhere you've never been...

I like this one. What are the specs?

All my rifles (except my .358) are 500-yard capable but my main sporter-weight one is this. Kimber 8400 7 WSM with a Pac-Nor barrel. It's stock other than the barrel and paint job. Trigger is set LIGHT. Scope is a Nightforce 3-10x42 SHV in Talley extensions. This is my upcoming one. It'll be a little heavier... basically I'm cloning the GAP Xtreme Hunter. I'm calling it the fauXtreme <g>. So far I have the action, which is now trued, PTG 1-piece bolt, PTG M16 extractor and bolt guts, the APA RTG bottom metal for the detachable mags.... and the Bartlein #3 and Manners SL are ordered. Made that bolt knob in a bored moment, but we'll see if it's a keeper once I get the stock. It's gonna be a 6.5 SAUM, aka 6.5 GAP 4S. Scope will be a Bushy LRHS or a NF NXS 3-15.
The CENTER will hold.

Yeah it might be a bit big <g>. We'll see. I can always make it smaller. I actually DID make a normal-sized one out of stainless, too. Combining tapers and radiuses will mess with your head on a manual lathe... mine anyway.

If you aren't working to a spec, I find shaping convex surfaces on a lathe much easier using a file and then varying grades of emory cloth to clean up. Rough to shape with the tool bit and then go to town. A half round file can be made to work on concave surfaces, but this is really were a ground form tool will shine.

Files are amazing tools with a lathe. People would be shocked how effective and precise they can be. However..... grin.... I made a pretty bitchin' radius-turner for my big lathe. I need it for a product I make. So when there's a radius to be cut I always try to use the damn thing. A different pic showing it better: Before I pressed it together. Massive polished shaft fitted to a bronze bushing. Looks like I'm making a damn [bleep]!

Montana 280AI. Leupold 3.5-10 with M1 elevation. I have mostly shot the 162 Amax in it. Longest shot on an animal with it is 567, and I don't really wish to shoot anything farther than that. Used for sheep, goats, caribou, whatever. Seems like overkill for deer but I guess it could work.
