My new project is due back any time.
Blued 700 long action, converting ADL to BDL with factory parts, stock finished from a High Tech specialties blank, 26" barrel fluted to 3/4ths of an inch sort of the muzzle, factory magnum contour, 1-9" twist, 5 groove, chambered in .240 Weatherby. Optics will be a Leupold 6.5-20X AO fine duplex with CDS in Leupold dual dovetail B&R.
Depending on which trigger (Jewell HVR or Timney Calvin Elite) I put in it, I'll have to open up the trigger guard a bit for clearance.
The theme here is a lightweight antelope rig. I'll have 20 preference points for Oregon antelope next season. Time to cash 'em in.

Finishing a lower on my 270AR cat and building a 7mm Valkyrie AR. Here's the furnature that's going on the 7mm Valkyrie AR. A side charge upper is in the mail from Eisenach Arms and a billet lower from South texas Arms has already been paid for and waiting on engraving. They will be camoed the same color/pattern. The barrel for the 7mm Valkyrie AR is still about a month out. Putting one of those new two stage triggers from Ruger in it. Its ging to be scoped with a Leupold Mod AR 1 4X12 which I have waiting. One more piece of the 7mm Valkyrie AR build came today. My Eisenach side charge upper.

Is that a .275 Rigby (7x57) necked up to .350? Or essentially a 350-57?

I have a Bighorn SR2 long action and Manners EH6 stock that should be done any day now. Going to use a Bartlein 2b but currently undecided on caliber.
Not in much of a rush to get it done, so I may actually not be having it built this year. We'll see.

Cabriolet, that is some top notch wood. Always liked the tigers eye maple. Yep I like it. The blank in the duplicator is the one the stock in the vise was carved from. The carved stock has not been sanded and the light is bad so the grain does not show well. Once a good sanding is accomplished the grain really pops: I like to go down to 800 grit, one friend goes down to 1200. A good sealer and top finish and wow. The black stocked rifle is a Mark X 458, the stock is totally wrong for this rifle. I will stock it with cast off and sufficient drop to be able to "see" the iron sights. Thinking about an aperture rear sight on the receiver, with the 20 inch barrel there is not enough distance between the sights for me with the barrel mounted rear sight.

I am finally working on accuracy for the 6.5SLR. It starts with a Weatherby Mark V six lug action (26oz.). Add a Pac-Nor 26" 8"twist barrel that matches the factory contour (I forgot it weight. After waiting for the 'smith to flute it I told, "I want the barrel even if you haven't fluted it." (So it's not fluted. That would have taken another three ounces off.) Also a Proof Research stock with a Weatherby cheek piece added(22 oz.). The stock ends with a Mico-Cell 1.26" recoil pad (2.9 oz.) The trigger is a Timney (2 oz) set at 20 ounces. Because I ran out of windage adjustment with the Talley's (2.5oz) I am using Burris Signatures (5 oz) with a +20 in one side of the rear and a -20 in the other side of the rear oriented vertically in the rings. The front ring has a -10 in the bottom and a +10 in the top. With this setup it The Swarovski z5 5-25X52 (18.1 oz) is sighted in at 300 with the scope reticle centered ! How cool is that? ! One of our .com friends posted, "You just can't fix stupid !" referring to all the trouble I have the the Swarovski and still keep trying use it. It's only been back three or four times. Maybe this time. The other is waiting for a brake. It starts with a Pierce titanium acton (20oz), with a Timney attached (2 oz) set at 20 ounces. Next is a Christian Arms barrel (made from a McGowen blank) 26" 8" twist. The stock came from MPI in Portland, Oregon. They made it especially light and added the Weatherby cheek shape (20 oz). Later the 'smith added the the 1.26" Micro-Cell recoil pad and inletted the stock and bedded the action; bringing the weight to 28 ounces. I added Talley 34mm! rings and installed a Leupold VX-6 4-24X52 (22.8 0z).

I'm going to do a short barreled, mannlicher stocked 7X57 this year. I seriously doubt it'll be finished this year but I'm going to get started. What I have in mind is a 19" barrel, banded front and rear sights, custom scope bases, BRNO ZG-47 safety, Timney trigger, Weibe Orbendorf style bolt handle, Lever release floorplate and a shotgun style trigger guard. The components are: G33/40 action Krieger FTW barrel NECG banded sight bases BRNO ZG-47 safety I have a stunningly beautiful Turkish mannlicher blank for it that has excellent layout, good figure and just the right amount of fiddleback. The stock will be patterned off of a modified BRNO 22F pattern. I'm taking about half of the drop out of it and adding a mid forearm schnable along a shadow line check piece. It'll be a nice mix of old world styling with a few modern touches. Here is some of the pretty stuff.

That is an exceptional blank.
Tell me about that groove milled alongside the receive.

BRNO did that to all the G33/40's. It was done to reduce weight. The G33/40 was designed as a mountain carbine and is of the nicest Mil-Surp's to come out of that war.
They fetch mega bucks in original condition these days.
