My MRC-based 7mm-08 I've been using to chase late season whitetails. Mark Penrod built it for me with a 24-inch Krieger #2 barrel and bedded it in a McMillan Winchester Classic stock. It came with a stainless extractor (and stainless trigger), so I had Mark add a Williams chrome moly extractor. (Stainless extractors on CM guns just look funky to me.) It wears a Leupold VX-III 2.5 x 8. It ain't a light rig (about 8-1/2 pounds), but it shoots like a house afire.

My favorite LH rifle - a 300WM Echols Legend.

[Linked Image]

Penrod built 257 Roberts/short action 700/1-9 twist Krieger/ sleeved action is another favorite. Jewel Trigger. Kampfeld Custom Bolt. Talley Rings. Edge stock purchased from/painted by Rick. Black-T finish by Birdsong.

[Linked Image]

Penrod built 338WM on a Model 70 is nice. McMillan Supergrade stock/Kreiger Barrel. Marks metalwork - bolt knob/release is outstanding.

[Linked Image]

Penrod built 416 Remington on a Model 70 whacks cape buffalo real well. Echols Stock/Krieger Barrel. Marks bolt knob. NECG sights. Talley detachable rings.

[Linked Image]

For plinking a New Ultra Light Arms 22 RF. Jewel Trigger - nice.

[Linked Image]

And because everyone has to have a least one wooden stocked rifle - a 250-3000 Dakota 76 Alpine (blind magazine). Conetrol Rings. Walther barrel. I bought this new for $1200. I think they only made Alpines for a year or so.

[Linked Image]

And a LH New Ultra Light Arms 300 WSM. This was the first 300WSM that Mel built. I cracked the stock the first time I went to Africa when tree'd by a Rhino. The branch broke, I fell 6 feet on the wrist of the stock and, it cracked, but didn't break. Duct taped it up to finish the Safari - called Mel to tell him the funny story when I got back - Mel said "even so, it shouldn't have cracked" - had me send it to him and put a brand new stock on it. I sent it to Robar to have the stainless barrel coated, the stock Rogarded, put Dave Gentry UltraLight Rings on it, and foolishly sold it at a weak moment. I wish I had it back. It shot 1/2" groups at 100.

When you're as pigmentally challenged as I happen to be you work within your constraints!
Flinging paint with a juice box straw, from a can of Rustoleum, is the extent of my painting talent.

I thought you got rid of these two. Are these replacements for other rifles?

One or two dozen and not a clunker in the lot.

One of the most accurate rifles I have is a bone stock Tikka T3 270Win with a Trijicon scope. Well it's almost bone stock - Rick painted it and it has a decelerator pad. Someday I will get it Black-T'd.

Actually, I sold the 22 Rimfire, but had to buy it back about 3 years later because the guy was getting divorced. I promised to give him first dibs if I ever sell it again. I did sell the 300WSM NULA

Still have it. i also still have that 270win Model 70 that i need to do something with. Can't decide on 9.3 x 62, 25-06, 6.5 x55, or having Mark hog it out to a 257 Weatherby. Maybe i should just have that 30-06 barrel you have put on it. I dont even have a 30-06 anymore, except for my dad's old 1903 Springfield.

I thought you sold an Alpine several years back.

Now for some plain vanilla. Browning T-Bolt in .22 LR topped with a Leupold Rimfire 2x7 in Browning/Talley mounts. I bought this based on some enthusiastic reports from bea175 and managed to kill two coyotes with it last year. They're a hell of a good rimfire.
