I would like to copy a Remington KS 350 mag or 35 Rem in stainless. Wouldn't mind having a 7600 in 358 Win with 20" barrel.

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

Tony, details on your .280 man!! grin


It's built on one of 50 small ring actions Pete Grisel made before he started his work with Don Allen to lead to what became Dakota Arms. The wood is California English. The rifle was built by Roger Green as a lightweight mountain rifle for the original owner. I am the second owner. Mr. Green's work is absolutely flawless.

being older, i did have my custom made. it's almost done.
living out here in nm., hunting here and other places a 9 kb. rifle or there abouts isn't all that heavy.

mine is a benchmark built 280ai, with a fluted number 4 lilja contoured 26 inch barrel. benchmark blueprinted the action, made, chambered and test fired the barrel and sent a casing drilled and tapped for a stoney point oal gauge.
carl kampfeld did the bolt.

first stock i had made is still MIA in ak., with art peck aka sitka deer, but jim62 made me another out of english walnut and carol at ahlman's in mn., is doing the checkering.
jim did a custom foreend tip and inletted talley sling swivel studs.

it'll wear a leupold 3.5-10x40 with a b&c reticle, sitting in conetrol bases and gentry rings.

heres a few in the works pics.

Aside from the aforementioned Dakota 10;

I have one pre-64 action left that will become a 7mm Rem Mag, stocked in English. I have one of the members of the ACGG in mind.

I'm also contemplating a pair of Kimber Montanas by Mark Penrod. The first will be on the 84L in .280 AI, the second on the longer 8400 action in 7mm Mashburn.

God I'm boring.

I guess I'd just like to go down to the savage mfg plant and do a walk through build of a high luster blued 24" barreled 114 action in 338 WM and have it fit in a satin oil finished euro classic walnut stick of my choosing.

I'd toss a gloss black VXII 3-9 40 in a set of burris sig zee's, hang a dark brown 1" montana sling on it and go hunting.

Not exactly "custom" but they don't sell the 114 in anything "bigger" than the 300 WM so...

flame on.

:popcorn:

I counted my custom rifles and right now they are about 1/3 of my modest collection. A little over half of them I had built, but the others were used--a more affordable way to get custom rifles! Some were rifles I've wanted for a while, like my "unmatched pair" of Kilimanjaro (formerly Serengeti) rifles in 7x57 and 9.3x62, but some I didn't even know I wanted until they appeared, like the .30-40 Krag double rifle built on a Ruger Red Label frame.

Dunno why I'm still thinking about other custom rifles, but I am. A .350 Rigby would be nice....

I always have a list of rifles I want to build for myself and occasionally, I even get them built. More commonly though, they end up being "fantasy rifles" whuich are built and used only in my dreams. The advantage to a fantasy build is that it always looks better, shoots better, and carries better than the real thing. In addition, the hunts are always successful or the matches always won.
Sometimes, I even go so far as to actually build the rifle or at least start it. Here is my present list of rifles being built or which I plan to build.
1. A model 54 Winchester. This one will be a 30/06 and stocked in a fairly nice piece of black Walnut. Mauser bolt stop. Original trigger.
2. A Ruger No.1 in 30/40 Krag. I think I'll do a half-octagon barrel, 24" long. I'll use Talley rings for the Leupold 3x scope.
3. A Model 30 Remington in 280. I plan to stock this in myrtle though it's a bit on the heavy side. I'll alter the receiver to use a modified Mauser bolt stop/ ejector.
4. A Martini-Henry in 45/70
5. A 7x57 "F" class rifle. Hall action, Six stock, Benchmark barrel.
6. A 25/06 built on a MRC action. A heavy #4 contour 26" long. Scoped with a Leupold 8X Pioneer scope in Buehler mounts. Walnut stock configured to work well prone.
This is a partial list and is subject to change. I should be making significant progress by the time I'm 70. GD

A sporterized Mauser in 7x57 is a rifle I have always wanted to build.

Install a Deeley & Edge forend release on the forend to make takedown easier. Add a trap door, steel butt plate that's case hardened.

2 - Make a reproduction of W.D.M. Bell's 275 Rigby and keep it an open sight rifle rathern than ruining the classic lines with a scope.

Always wanted a real nice sporter made off a 1917 enfield.

I've got a couple of builds in mind. However my wants are pretty boring compared to most here.

338-06 on a pre 64 Model 70 action, not sure on barel choice yet but bedded in a McWoody and running a 3-9x40 Conquest in Talley mounts

Stainless MKII Ruger in 30-06 bedded and free floated in a boat paddle stock. Trigger work done and new barrel (again not sure on make, I'll take the smith's advice I'm sure)

Winchester Model 71 348Win Long Tang Deluxe Restored by Turnbull.

My Marlin 1895G. I'm about half way done with it. Forearm thinned, Cowboy buttstock replaced the factory one, just need to add a grind to fit recoil pad and refinish the buttstock. All that's left smith work wise is to have the mag tube extended.
