You know, I really don't care much for real modern firearms, but I wouldn't mind building a "Big Stick" rifle.

Purple Mc Swirley with a Stainless Remington Model 7 action and a #1 Shilen 20" barrel in .25 Souper...Topped with, a 6x Leup with target turrets.



He's had them, but mostly those two don't go together.

A matching trio of faux Ti's. I'm 2/3 of the way there.

1) .22-250 Ackley

2) .260 Remington

3) .338 Federal or .358 Winchester (haven't decided yet)

Utilitarian at its best.

I've pretty much reached the peak when it comes to custom rifles, so I think I'm done. My last one hit the nail on the head.

Rem 700 LA Ti action
21" Lilja Barrel duping MR, Chambered in 25-06AI
McM Edge Stock
Rifle Basix Trigger
Callahan FP/Shroud
Dead Nutz Mounts
Leupold 6x42 w/M1

The rifle likes 100gr Swift S2's at 3300. Not bad for a shorty barrel and sticky bullets.

I lent it to a buddy this fall, and it knocked down 2 dall sheep, 5 nice Sitka Blacktails, and a Caribou. I just got it back, so it'll be my rut gun.

Came darn close to pulling the trigger on such a build with Roger Green a bit ago. Some day it will get built.

I have an 03-A3 Springfield action my father gave me and I need to replace a 280 Remington I sold so it will be a 280 Remington with a 24" Shilen 1-9 or Lilja barrel, Boyds nutmeg laminate stock (pillar & glass bedded), with a 6x42mm Leupold scope on it.

I have a Ruger #1B in 6mm Remington that I love, but I've always wanted one in either a model 70 Winchester controlled round feed action or Ruger Hawkeye action. 24" 1-9 barrel and probably a fixed 6x42mm Leupold. Love those Leupolds! Love those two Mauser style actions and the fact that the magazine box is longer so a guy can seat those 100 gr. bullets out there where they should be.

On this original post I said a Martini in .25 WSSM. Today I am reminded of a Martini with a .357 Mag necked down to .17. I read about one of these over 30yrs ago, and it just popped into my head today.

There are two that have me thinking lately, not that I can afford either right now.

1. Model 70 Sporter, bedded and rechambered to .270 Gibbs.

2. Shaw Mk VII, in 257 Bob, walnut stock, helical fluted 24 inch barrel.

I guess this would qualify as a "custom"

Dakota Traveler - one barrel in .338 Laupa, one in .416 Rigby. Stocked to fit me, of course.

Or maybe the same thing in 7mm Dakota, and .330 Dakota.

I like the way you think. I've always wanted to do a 760 all in matte with a 19" barrel in 338/06 with a XS sight and a fiber optic front.

Dober



One of these or Stealy's 99 are kind of what I was thinking.

A M70 action in 257 Bob bedded in a McMillan with a Leupold VX-3 3.5-10x40mm on top and a fluted barrel.

I would shoot 110 grain Accubonds, that would be a great combo for blacktails.

Ruger tang safety with a Shillen barrel 24" #4 contour in 257 Roberts paired with one in 280 Remington, these will match my 338-06.

A pair of extremes.

Full blown Mauser in either .257 Roberts or 7x57 with all the bells and whistles, classic lines.

The most god-awful McSwirly color combination you can think of, I guess a 700 SA, chambered in .243 maybe, stainless barrel, then all the metal coated in some crazy color scheme that is obnoxious when put with the stock.
