Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Custom 30-.06 rifles

You've got just about the perfect rifle there. I bet it shoots lights out too and I wouldn't be affraid to hunt the world over with that rifle. Very nice. Just something about those pre 64 model 70 fwt's.......

Didn't realize at first that was Dan's stock. Held it a few times in his FW before he got rid of it, is a nice stock. Don't think he even shot it.

Have you weighed it, as is?

yes you are correct. Dan is the man for sure. He gave me one heck of a deal on that stock. It weighs a little over 7.5 pounds all up right now. Not too bad I guess. The thing I like about it though is not the weight differnece but how it handles and feels now. It is like a totally different rifle. Points and shoots and feels more like my pre 64 model 70 fwt which is how I like it



Pretty much a bone stock pre 64 model 70 fwt 30-06 but I wouldn't change anything about it. It's 8 pounds all up and handles just like the Extreme Weather.

Not really custom yet, but I'm getting there. Just a Remmie ADL SS in a Mickey Remington Sporter.

I like that stock. Very cool...PST.. Where did you put those numchucks??? All kidding asside, what is the color specs of the Mcswirly? Thanks..

Purchased a Remington 700 BDL SS Mountain Rifle 30-06 in a Brown laminated stock and made some changes :

700 SS 22" 30-06 MR Barreled action
New Ti take-off stock
Trigger Guard and screws (ADL) purchased from Midway
Talley Low mounts
Leupold VX-III 3.5-10x40 matte
Rifle Basix trigger 1.5-3 lbs
Karl at Kampfeld did the bolt work (flutes)
Gre-Tan firing pin assembly
Weight is at 6 lbs 10 ozs as she sits.




This rifle is a joy to carry. I can't find my target in my photobucket.

I think I might have actually done some loading, so I had to clear off the T7. Or maybe I took the picture before I unpacked the 'chucks. Who knows?

awesome rigs. getting excited about getting my own back!

Adam,
I will, perhaps foolishly, assume that you are asking a serious question.

I tape the muzzle when hunting/hiking/riding to protect the barrel from obstructions. Then wrap a couple extra around the barrel as 're-fills'.

Cheers,
David



Nice rig, Huntr! Does my heart good to see a few practical southpaw shooters on this thread.:)



Again, this rifle is simply a masterpiece.

Is that a NM black bear? Looks like he has a really nice lush hide on him.

What barrel contour you rocking with that pacnor, and length? Even for having the bolt on the wrong side, I really like how you had that rifle built. Don't you also have a 7x57 built in a similiar fashion?

I really like that rifle. One of these days I'll try one with the bolt handle on that side again. Maybe a short action though this time.

Just sent my action off today for some "smithing" and rebarreling!!! Let the waiting begin!

That bear was killed just outside of Durango, Co. with that rifle.

It is a Win. fwt contour, although the smith left a little too much shank on it. It is a 22 inch barrel. Yep, have a 7X57 very similar. Thanks for the compliments gents, it has been a good rifle for sure.

Thanks bsa, yea there great rifles. It shoots good, still working on loads when i have spare time. Sofar it shows promise with 150&168gr. TSX's, and 150gr speer grandslams with RL15 & H4350.

Most of the pre 64's I've shot have done very well. Both of my 30-06's shoot sub moa (although one is pillar/glass bedded and the other is just glass bedded), they shoot the same loads into tiny groups. I wouldn't trade them for anything!!!

Not really a true custom............
