Got a 8-57RS out of the back row that I never shot much.

I will try some 150's in it again and some 180 Noslers.

It's the rifle at the top of this picture.

After years of chasing big bores, I'm going the other direction this year. I came to realize that I am woefully under stocked with varmint rifles. I recently was able to procure three left handed Charles Daly actions still in the white. Two of them are going to Pacnor next week for barreling. One will be a 17 Remington which will reside in a nice walnut stock, one I just picked up from Walnut Grove Gunstocks. The other will be a 6mmx222 with a #1 contour barrel and a 1/12 twist and will go to MPI for one of their stocks.

The two rifles will make up my primary fur calling rifles. I opted for the 6mmx222 over the 6x45 because the Daly action is pretty short and the 6x45 would require the bullets, especially anything 85 grains and heavier to be seated very deep in the case. The 222 case is a much better fit for the action.

If time and money allow, the third action will become a short little mannlicher stocked 222. Kind of a walking varminter. If I can find a good deal on a right handed Zastava mini or a Charles Daly right handed action, I'll build a similar rifle in 221 Fireball for my wife.

Although I might go with a Classic Edge. If so I'm changing my Cerakote color.

You're getting there. Needs a Leupold with an elevation turret or a SWFA SS. Also a Mcmillan.

Rem 700 chunk 300 Win Mag in a A5 or chassis stock and a 375 H&H on a Model 70 action for this year. I should have the 300 done first as I already got the donor/rifle on hand.

You people are never happy�..



I have plenty of time to change things�...

I though you already had one of them?

dave

Ive got two .223AIs�.

This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

7RUM trued 700, brux 9t no.3 in a Mcmillan. Probably do another sendero contoured 308 in a mcm prolly finish it at 20. Going to do a lighter weight 7/08 will probably come up with a 1/2 dozen builds more before Nov.

Just picked up a mint Sako 75 Hunter in .22-250. Sold off the stock, scope and rings, now into the barreled action for $500.
McMillan on order, leupold rings and VXII 6x36 LR here now.

Going to ring her out for a bit, then decide on a faster twist for heavier bullets, maybe in .22-243 Middlestead...:)

After a few years in progress, my extended tang 416 Rigby on an Enfield should be done this month. My 220 Russian MiniMauser is having the finishing touches done on it this month.
The Dodge City Police Dept. recovered my custom 40X rimfire metal work. Sorry scum lost my custom scope bases and took a pipe wrench to the barrel. If I have any money left I will get started on my Light Weight Pierce Titanium receivered 280AI.

Once I get my action,
Stiller 25x .22lr
Lilja barrel

Building a Win 52C sporter clone from a Target 52C.
Lilja sporter contour barrel
Lyman 48F receiver sight and front ramp sight with hood
Piece of English walnut duplicated to match an original C stock with Monte Carlo rollover

Maybe a 40X sporter next if I can find an action. Hate to cut up my 40X target as it shoots sooo well right now.
Butch, want to sell your recovered action? PM me.
