C or H ring on these?

H

Anybody got their rings from SH yet?

Hi gunner500, I called SH this morning to find out what was going on. He said he had the mount parts scattered all over the shop and had just gotten all the orders ready to ship. He said they would go out today. I gave him my number and he said he would call back if there was any trouble doing so.

Hopefully this will be the end of the delays. I needed mine yesterday also.

Thanks TC1, I spoke with Andy this afternoon, mine are on the way, I have a pile of metal and wood waiting to go to the 'smith, this is gonna be a fun project.

Rings in, all the parts and pieces along with the reamer off to the 'smiths asap, be cool to bust some game with this rifle this hunting season.

Been mired up heavy all week, 'Smith was nice enough to drive out to the farm last night 'LATE' and pick up all my parts and pieces, build will commence on Monday morning, {if he's not out tinkering with it today}

So, how are all you mens builds progressing?

Hope you guys didnt give up, I'll send pics in a couple three weeks when mines done.

In the meantime, tell us what you are having done to it.

Having the action squared worked and smoothed, installing a .730" at the muzzle Krieger barrel at 24" with a set of NEGC barrel band front sight and an island rear, sent an Oberndorf straight bolt handle in case it can be made to work with the stock I got.

The QD rings and all the steel will be a soft charcoal blue and bedded in the stock, may full length bed the barrel also, will install a new 1.5-5 Leupold gloss scope.

400 gr Woodleigh's at 2150 will be next on the list when completed.

I didn't give up but my wallet got a little winded.

I got the action, mounts and a stock on order. That'll probably be about as far as it goes until after Christmas.

I'm looking foward to seeing some of these finished rifles.

10-4 TC1, I understand, you got Walnut ordered for it?

This build is very special to me, you see, this rifle will be a keeper for me as long as I'm able to hunt, I'm looking at this 400 Whelen as being my last remaining big bore, I have some really heavy kickers.

As I age I'll have to sell those off due to recoil, this rifle firing it 400 gr bullets at a very mild yet effective 2150+ fps will kill all kinds of light as well as heavy game throughout one's remaining hunting years without kicking me outta my 'power chair' .

Lol. That OKH of TC1 is enough to give a guy a Woodie - Nice Wood! Great round, great lines - unique bbl. Did I mention nice glass? All first class.

Be happy to get it Christened - plenty 4320 to torch some 225s...
Not much could stand it. Well executed.

Action worked, barrel threaded, chambered and installed.

Any updates on builds going on with these actions, pics?

SB, I'll check with my 'smith on Monday, she's gotta be about ready to pickup, I'll text some pics to TC1 or MuzzleBlast and see if they will post em up for us at that time.

my recent trip to montana put the brakes on my build. gotta work some ot to get it kicking again.

So what are the legit options for scope bases/rings?

1.Sunny Hill
2.EAW
3.Have your smith mill the bridges for your choice of mounts.

I am the smith but if this thing is case hardened, it's not going to be milled to anything.

I don't see anything about bases/rings on Sunny Hill's website. Are they custom order or what?
