Hey Clark, looks like a nice rifle, what's the story brah?
On the rifle itself? I bought it on the classifieds here but when I got it in hand I saw it was not an original barreled action. And it had been put in a Fajen stock. A horribly hideous Fajen stock. So I sent that stock off to get reworked (McMillan doesn't inlet for these) but I never heard back from that guy. So since it wasn't original, I said to hell with it, and shipped it off to Dennis Olson with a note and $500. His wife called back about 18 months later. Said it was done. I'm very happy with it.

i'd really like to know how that 8 twist handles different weight bullets. My one slow .222 only goes to 2940 with the 60
to 64 grain bullets. Do you have any plans on loading any of the heavier bullets in it?

Well, not really. The Rhiimaki is very limited by COAL length due to the magazines they use. I'll probably try the 62gr. TTSX at some point. And maybe some Hornady 68gr, BTHP's.

It is exceptional. ![[Linked Image]](https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5596/30790847425_9819910f0a_k.jpg) And that's his idea of "middle of the road" for lumber. The trigger on it is unreal. You can hand it to even novice shooters and milk jugs at 250 are in very real trouble when shooting offhand. Ok. I'm done blowing myself now. Dave

I was curious if Dennis would object but he did everything I specified. And some extras. I just let him do what he wanted outside of barrel specs and LOP.
7lbs as it sits.

If Dennis did that stock for $500 you got a bargain!

You know, I honestly think it is.
If you really break it down I provided the action and nothing else.
He yanked the old barrel, installed the new one, did the bluing (which is flawless) made the stock, installed a steel grip cap, the ebony forend cap, modified the mag latch, made the trigger a wet dream, installed the red Decelerator. Checkered it....
And it shoots factory ammo well under an inch.
I don't know. I think 2K out the doors isn't bad at all.

Using a Kimber Select as a donor for a Deuce rebarrel wouldn't suck much. I'd still rather have Clark's rifle though.
