Got some polishing residue there. 7X57, 21 inch Douglas CM barrel, Leupy 2.5-8X36, steel grip cap, Duane Weibe bottom metal, repro cocking piece/knob, western black walnut, my third attempt at final shaping and finishing of yet another semi-inletted stock. Well I thought the first one was going to be the only one. Remainder was farmed out. Hope it shoots! Last edited by custombolt; 11/20/12. Life is brief. Treat yourself. You earned it.

I was pleasantly surprised when it came back from Tim. He nipped the point of my shadowline a bit. But, it blends well. The walnut slab was very reasonably priced. Life is brief. Treat yourself. You earned it.

I have a still full military M1936 7x57 Mexican and a 300 Savage rifle built on a M1936 action with a timney trigger in it. Darn if I can tell much difference between their triggers and I've basically done nothing to the military trigger.
