Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Soroka Farquharson pics

For those of you that dont frequent AR here are some pics of Aussie gunwriter, Col Allison's newest addition to his cabinet. It's a 300 H&H magnum, with upgraded wood and 90% coverage English sroll. It is now fitted with a new Leica 2.5-10x42 and shoots in the .5" category like every Soroka built to date has. Please note the gap between underlever and trigger guard happened after colour casing and has subsequently been rectified. Apologies for the non correct ammo. I only had 7mm Rem mag on hand when the photographer was available.

Argh ...

My kind of a dream rifle.

Personnaly, I'd add open sights as back-up but that's splendid.

That's High Class of a rifle. Like GV i would add iron but every thing here is top of the top.
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks and you're welcome. Its good to be able to share the fine photography with the world.
We have some rifles fitted with Recknagel, NECG, H&H banded flip over ivory bead front sights with a standing V mounted in the rib. It looks as good as the rest of the rifle.
Cheers

Lets hope the "Saroka Stalkers"- Idaho Sharpshooter and J.D. Steel from over at AR don't follow you over here (for their sakes). The crap they have posted on those threads is pretty shameful.

Folks on this forum don't really cotton to rifle makers getting slammed just because their wares are a bit pricey.

Now, that is a sweet looking rig. Case coloring, nice engraving, great wood to metal fit and superb Turkish walnut. There's nothing there that needs to be changed. Except (IMO of course). The scope looks a bit oversized for the gun and I too would add iron Express type sights.

Beautiful rifle. If you guys aren't clicking on the photos and going to the largest version avail - you're missing some incredible detail.

Superb rifle, and superb photography of same.

Thanks for sharing! Guy

Gorgeous rifle...what caliber? Looks like it might be a .264, but can't tell for sure.

I hope it sees the game fields soon.

Wow-all I can say. PH

Tsquared just posted pics of his Soroka on the Gunwriters forum. His 300 H&H is stunning...

Here I can save you the journey. Heres some pics of Tom Turpins rifle. It shoots really well too like all the rifles built so far- .5" with factory ammo seems to be achievable.
Enjoy, Glenn Soroka

Stunning work!

Very Very Nice!

Those sure are some fancy Rugers

I am going to speak heresy and say, that in large part, these guns are hand made to look expensive:



I would speculate that with your eyes closed it would be hard to tell the difference between shouldering the Soraka and a Ruger No. 1.

I would also speculate that it would be hard for most shooters to shoot the Soraka off hand better than they could shoot a Ruger No. 1 off hand.

I'm guessing that either the Saroka or the Martini would be custom to order, and would fit like a glove.

(sigh) Martini, Soroka, or Dakota. decisions, decisions,

Yep Rugers can shoot .5 for a lot less mula.

Depends on whether or not one adheres to the "form follows function" adage. Why not have a work of art, if one can afford it, that shoots and handles as well as it looks? A Chevy van will get you to your destination with all kinds of efficiency, but would you rather drive it or a Ferrari there.
