Who did the action work, smiley? That is a mighty nice rifle. Another nice round is the .25 Whitetail, a 7.62x39 necked down and blown out a bit. My favorite local gunshop has the reamer. Would be real nice on a mini-Mauser. Just a rebarrel away. Ballistics similar to the .250-3000.

I dont know. I got this one off gunbroker a few years ago. I wish I knew more about it. Who ever did it, did a really nice job. It has a blind type magazine and the boltface was welded and recut and it has a sako type extracter. the barrel is a j p sauer and sons mauser that has been bored and re sleeved. 1/4 octagon with a full length rib. shoots nice.

I got lucky on this one. If you would have tested my wallet, you you have got it. i bid my max that I could spend and didnt look at it again. No one else put a higher bid. I got it for what I think was a good price.

Terry will have to answer, but I think it is off to the engraver. Butch

Yeah, it went to Roger Kehr this week for engraving. Roger will will stipple the quarter rib, mark the rear sight, letter the barrel and put a few tasteful scroll patterns on it.
The project has gotten a little behind schedule but it's still on the tracks.

Update: Well, everything is built and now it's all being scratched up! All the metal work is over at Roger Kehr's getting a nice engraving job and James Anderson is almost finished with a 1st class cherkering job. James has gone far beyound the call of duty on this rifle and it really shows. He's listened to me when I've told him what I was looking for, made a lot of suggestions about the project that have made it better and made the exact rifle I had in mind, only better. The checkering pattern is borrowed from an old W.J. Jeffery stalking rifle which this whole rifle is roughly based off of. I might be able to get a picture or two from Roger soon. Terry

Terry, that's a damn nice stick of firewood to be using for a rifle stock. Nice job by all involved. Especially your concept on this thing. Can't wait to see it all together. I'm sure you feel the same. David

Thanks for sharing. It looks to be one fantastic rifle. I can't wait to see the final product.
