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

No doubt, that is fantastic.

This is my favorite thread here so far. I am gonna start saving for a project!

Here is one. Pre-64 Winchester Model 70 Featherweight 30-06

Good Gawd!!!

Didn't mean to offend you...

What I meant was, GOOD GAWD!! How's she shoot?

Better than she looks.

hard to shoot better than that looks!!!!!!!!!!! any more or better pics? best yet. jmo.

I will try again today, outside might provide better light.

That's a beauty whitebird. Wonder if the OP is making any headway with his custom or if he gave up on the idea???

Dam I love this thread. I've still not done anything with my old 700 30-06.

I also like this thread. I grew up using the good ol 30-06 (started with one when I was 12). Still is and always will be one of my favorites...I haven't shown this one very much because it is kind of ugly but totally functional for me. Notice it has a left hand thumbhole stock ...Winchester model 70 classic CRF action, sniper grey cerakote, lightweight talleys, bausch and lomb elite 4200 2.5-10x40 scope, custom left hand thumbhole stock:





Shoots like this all the time, even though it's been in 3 different stocks:

Here's my custom Husqvarna 30/06.

- 1900 series action
- Hart 24" #4 contour 1-12
- McMillan Remington Mountain Rifle stock bedded by McMillan
- B&L 4000 2.5-10 scope
- Buehler ring and bases
- Birdsong Black-T finish
- trigger work done by Griffin & Howe

Here is mine. A Remington 700 LH in a SPS stock with some paint. Black Cerakote and a trigger tuning done by me.

It shoots well.



And my first attempt at custom...

Mauser GEW 98. I shaped the stock from a blank, and Kend finished the work. Black Duracoat, and a 26" Krieger #5 SS barrel with a parabolic target crown. It also shoots pretty good.

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice!

Here are a few I took outside...

What scope do you typically run on that?

VX-3 2.5-8 S&K mounts

Thanks ! That rifle is all business, no fluff. Those (8000/9000 series) Husky's have the smoothest actions I've ever felt. Topped off with Birdsong "Black-T" and it feels like the bolt is on ball bearings.

white that and the single shot by sdh are the cats meooooooy. how long is the br. by the way? thanks for the extra pics.!!!!!!!!!
