Here's one I put together for a left handed son. A stainless Ruger Mark II rebarreled to 35 Whelen in a factory stock. The stainless leftys were never offered in walnut. After these pics were taken we beadblasted the shine off of it and he installed a 2.5-8 Leupy in matte low rings.
"after the bullet leaves the barrel it doesn't care what headstamp was on the case" "The 221 Fireball is what the Hornet could have been had it stayed in school"
While not a full custom, here's a Stainless LH Model 70 I recently acquired and did some customizing to. I think it turned out pretty nice.
Work I did to it:
New custom Mauser-style bolt handle buildup and bolt release lever(by Mark Penrod)
Cut and re-crown barrel to 24", and whole barreled action bead-blasted to look factory fresh(by "Redneck")
PT&G steel bottom metal Cerakoted "Satin mag" to match stainless steel(by Eddie Fosnaugh). Still need to have Eddie Cerakote the Talley mounts in graphite black.
McMillan Win 70 FWT pattern in Black w/Gray speckletone paint
Glass bedding/floated barrel(did myself)
Cal: 7mm Rem Mag
Sorry for the crappy cell-phone pics.
Should be good medicine for Mulies/Elk on cross-canyon shots with handloaded 160gr Accubonds or 140gr T-TSX at 3,000 and 3,100 fps respectively.
Put this KS clone .280 Ackley together last year. Shilen 25" Rem sporter contour barrel, fluted bolt, KS custom shop stock, tuned factory trigger, cerakoted graphite black. I bedded the stock and the Talley bases and my buddy lapped the rings. With Bushnell 4200 3-9 it weighs 7.8 lbs. Haven't done any load development yet, first load tried is the 120 gr TTSX at 3200 fps. Groups run about 3/4" vertical with almost no horizontal dispersion, may be my bench technique.
Stainless 700 RUM action, HS Precision stock, take off 25.5" Rock Creek #4 barrel chambered by GAP in 8mm Rem Mag. 9 pounds scoped. Stock and scope base bedded by me. Shoots 200 gr Partitions at 3150 fps under an inch. Last 3 shot 100 yd group went 0.48". The mud on the stock is from Alberta, where I killed 3 bears on two hunts including a gorgeous blonde/white 6 footer. I leave the mud on there to remind me of two awesome hunts. I also killed the 144" 9 pt in my avatar with this rifle.
