Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats What are you building in 2015...

Very nice project! .... I'd like to do something similar in a 20" 6.5x57.

I think that the G33-40 carbines were actually made in Germany; the Brno production were VZ-33s.

In any case, as always, Terry's concepts and taste in fine rifles is beyond exquisite and I slaver over every one he shows us.

I have a Brno ZG polished receiver action, 3-pos. installed and may buy a Dressels trigger for this one; it will get a Benchmark or Jury sts tube, 9,3x62 at 21" and REcknagel irons, Talley QDs and a MPI handle. It is to be my backpacking rifle and will be Cerakoted.

I have coming a minty Parker-Hale Hussar, .308NM, will strip for the factory modded short mag. action and get a STS .338 tube, sights and mounts as above and maybe a Canadian Wildcat carbon stock. This, will be my last .338WM, a dream rifle for 30+ years and will be MY GUN......

Then, I still have two Brno 21H actions to build on and am not certain what to do.

The G33/40 was an (occupied) BRNO product. I promise

Two 21H actions to build on. That would be a nice problem to have.

Not a build exactly, but I am rebarreling a minty Ruger Tang Safety. It will be rebarreled to a 7x64mm Brenneke. The stock is nicely grained, but typically Ruger portly. So I will be slimming it down a fair bit, and the new giving it a refinish.

Almost finished with my 280 Rem.

Nice build, but dang T, I thought you would have smoked that 400 Whelen build by now, or did you change your mind on it?

When I found the G33/40 I had to punt on the Doumlin mauser project. I have another in .338-06 and I'll have to get by with it.

6.5 Creedmoor on a 700 action.

That is going to be one hell of a rifle. I'll be waiting anxiously for photos of the finished rife. That stick of wood is nothing short of breathtaking.

Guys,

I have a project ongoing with a 09 Argentine action that Reto Buehler worked over for me. He fitted the Swift/Blackburn bottom metal and trigger, added a new bolt handle, made the custom bases for Talley rings, had the action re-heat-treated, fitted a Lothar Walther barrel, and chambered it for the 9.3x64 Brenneke cartridge, worked over the feeding, and polished the action. He then shipped the metal to Gary Goudy to whittle out a stock from a very nice but relatively plain stick of European Circassian walnut that I provided. I'll provide photos of the finished rifle when I get it back. Hopefully, that will be in time for Christmas.

This is the 09 action that I sent to Reto.


After Reto finished with it.



The stick of Circassian I'm using.



Gary Goudy stock in progress.

WOW! That's gonna be a mighty fine rifle.

What scope you gonna use Tsquare?

Haven't decided exactly as yet, but most likely I'll use a Leupold VX-3 1.75-6x33. I'm very fond of that scope these days. Unfortunately, scope manufacturers these days make their scopes with tubes so short that without resorting to offset rings, its getting difficult to mount the scope that I really want to use and I'm finding more and more frequently that I have to mount a scope that will fit rather than what I really want. I'll keep you guys posted when Gary finishes with the rifle.

Yup.

Can't wait for the end result.

That is going to be a sharp rifle..!!!

Bet that has some snap at both ends! Cool project.

Beautiful! Great old school classic custom.

Guys,

To add to what I've already submitted on my in-progress 9.3x64 Brenneke based on a 09 Argentine model 98, I received a few photos this morning from Gary Goudy. The stock, with the exception of checkering, is now done. Checkering should be finished next month sometime. See what you think.
