Drop dead gorgeous, but in a highly functional way; Karl is an artist in his own right & a peach of a guy.

I've been to his shop a couple of times during the course of some work he's done for me.

What does your new rifle weigh?

Mm

I had a 6.5/06 built over 20 years ago. If the Creedmoor was mainstream at the time I would have never done it. I haven't fired that rifle in a dozen years, I need to get it rebarreled to 270 or 30/06.

Mine was the twin of the OPs rifle only lefty. #2 Hart at 23". Setup to shoot Berger 140 VLD and that is all I ever shot in it. Killed a lot of critters. Kept the dies when I rebarreled to 6.5-284. May go back someday. Cartridge feeds like butter and was very accurate. 2900 fps with 140 vld will do a lot of things.

I built one on a 700 and ptg bottom metal. 26 inch no. 4 shilen select match.
Only bullet I ever shot was a berger 140 vld and 50.5 grains of 4350. Don't know how fast it was going but it was plenty.

Here's one of many whitetails I killed with that gun.
