The Year is winding down, let's hear about and see some photos of guns you've had built or purchased in 2015. I'll post a few of mine tomorrow.

Slow year for some reason only bought a few...
Win 52
Win 92 32-20
Trapper pistole
1952 manlicher 257 Roberts
HVA 30-06
Sig p 938

Pre 64 M70 action, Krieger #1 10 twist chambered 270 Winchester,and Brown PoundR came together in time to hunt it in Maine and Kansas.

A M70 Classic action with Borden RR stock and #2 Brux in 7 Rem Mag turned out pretty nice. Williams extractor. Had a little problem with a 6x42 Leupold but a 6X SS fixed that and the rifle is shooting very well to 600 yards with 162 Amax and 150 BT's.

A Rem 700 SA in 6.5 Creedmoor with Benchmark SS fluted barrel and Echols Shrike was supposed to be done in September, but got pushed out until January.

Sir, Curious. What length did you finish the barrel at ? Thx...

Two of my favorites!

257 AI Dakota 97 Long Action



model 70 Winchester SS G Series in 308 with McMillian Edge.

Orion this one finished up at 23".

I'm still waiting for it!



Travis

Finnwolf 308...



USFA Lightning...



Pair of Whitney Phoeneix rifles...



H&K P-7 K3 380 with 22LR kit...

Weatherby Mark V .460 Wby.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------







Then there is a Parker & Hale .25/06. Will post pics of it when I kill a coyote with it.

Nice stuff.. Don't think I bought a rifle this year.. Had a 700 barreled up in .300 Savage, but I already had that rifle.. Did buy a couple Glocks .45 and 9mm, and a S & W revolver in .45 Apc.. I think that is all.. Need to remedy that next year..

Only 70 rounds before I got bored. Anyone in VA that want's to play swap, holler. Scope got Tikka'ed....

Net 0 for 2015

A trio of Colt 1903's, a Simth M39, a Colt Police Positive and a Crosman 38 Combat via estate sale.



An Ruger SP-101 357 Mag and Smith M34.





Though no photos a pretty NIB Browning M53 32-20 some months ago and a pair of Colt AR15 HBAR's arrived a couple of weeks ago. I sold a few as well.

Beat this...

I would not know how to use the thing, being a right hander.

Just after Christmas last year my wife (read: CFO) gave the go ahead for a new trap shotgun to accompany my new hobby. Landed this Browning Citori XT Grade I.

Not entirely new, but shipped off a CZ 375H&H to AHR for their upgrade 2. Very happy with the results, contemplating sending a 458 Lott to them for the same in the near future.



Have a Smith and Wesson 67 on order at the LGS now, should be in this week. Hoping to get the wife into shooting more this year and I figured some 148 wadcutters over 2.7g of Bullseye will make for some pleasant shooting for her.

Now to start planning 2016....

S264

On your M70 - which Edge is that? Nice rifle.

#1-A in .222




.223 'builds'....

Had this one completed in the spring buy the guys at Accurate Ordnance. Good guys to work with, 7MM-08.

Quien Sabe?............

Shrap! Ya run with a pretty fast crowd.

May not beat, but doggin' yo' tracks. LOL

Merkel K3, 308 Win.




Steyr Mannlicher Classic, 270 Win.





Steyr Classic,7mm-08



Winchester 1885, 375 H&H

BTW, have I ever mentioned that I like wood.

JAPPFT,

GWB

At least you don't need the blue pill for that kinda wood. I honestly don't know how some of you guys keep up with piles of rigs like that.

Buy low, sell high, collect early, pay late and get old slowly!.





Get in the woods 60 to 90 days a year in an area that has the critters and the climate.

ya'



NEF, 12 ga. Slug gun.




Cooper 21 Classic laminate, 6 x 47 (6-222 Rem Mag)




Steyr Professional, 376 Steyr



JAPPFT,

SR22 and a Savage 99 in 308 is all I've got to show for 2015.

Bought this awhile back. 03A3 action. Dont know much about the rest of it. Barrel stamped "Flaig's Ace". Chambered in .30/06. Any one know anything about it? Value?

I got a nice Sako Pre-Garcia 222 heavy barrel from yar, here on the Campfire. it is a perfect twin to one of the 222 mags I already have...

Never a shortage of new toys and good conversation.


270WBY NULA. It's a 1/2" rifle


.416 Taylor built by Ray Montgomery. Another 1/2" rifle

Lots to post, but a special one is next.

A before and after photo, just had to lighten it up a touch before the hunt.
Lots of love for the D'Arcy stock and ultralight edge.

Winchester model 1895 in 40-72...

Well I had a decent year. I bought more optics than guns but it wasn't dry. One thing people know about me is that I don't sell a thing.

CZ455 Varmit 22lr- that had nice wood. I put a Vortex Crossfire scope on it.
no pics.
CZ455 American 22lr
No pics.

Great looking rifle!

The last of the year, a Colt.

geedubya; I had an early NEF 12 gauge "rifle", with a lighter barrel and open sights (comb was too high to use the sights). Killed a few critters with it. Very hefty recoil. I also have the same Robert Service book.

Shrapnel; the 1985 is a very cool rifle.

Thanks to all for posting; some very cool guns. I will need to put pictures of my new rifles soon. Nothing nearly as cool as what has been posted so far.

Colt Sauer 22-250...

Bits'er 1970's Rem 700 adl with sps bottom metal, ex s/s target barrel.

Action and full length of barrel bedded in a Manners EH3 with added epoxy for a rounder grip by the magwell.

Redfield Rev-tac sitting on blued steel Burris bridge mount and low rings.

I cut the back of the bolt shroud off for a better indication of cocked/uncocked plus I like the look of those earlier bolts anyway.
Shoots moa with almost any load I put through & half that with her favourites.
She's ugly but accurate rifles start looking better the longer I own them.

Gonna take her Sika hunting in the next couple of days.

Probably one of the best finds of the year. This is a pre-64 featherweight 270 that is sightless with a Winchester pad. And it shoots...

Husqvarna Lightweight 30-06 with NOS Tradewinds mounts and NOS VX-III 2.5-8x36mm

Speaking of Sakohunter264, here is a sweet number that Jason said I could not live without.




Custom Remington 700 in 338-06 Improved



Now and then a blind hog finds an acorn, and since I did, I figured this would work just fine for the porkers I perforate.........




JAPPFT,

GWB

In 2015 I bought a Win 1873 44-40 and a Win 1885 converted from 45-60 to 45-70.



In 2015 I bought a 1954 Colt 357 mag dual tone

In 2015 I bought a 1934 Win Model 52 22LR with G.Titherington barrel Wright-Allen trigger & Weitek Vaver rear sight

In 2015 I bought a 1965 Rem700 30-06 BDL with Hart barrel

In 2015 I bought a Sav 110 7mmRemMag


In 2015 built a 300 WinMag on a 1939 [inner stop ring] 91/30 Mosin Nagant action with Krieger factory chambered and painted barrel.


In 2015 I built a 6.5-06 A-Square on a Dumoulin Mauser action with Shilen barrel.


In 2015 I built a 6mm Remington on a 1903 Turkish Mauser action with a Douglas barrel

Only took delivery on one new rifle in 2015. I've posted photos of it already on the fire, but with this topic, thought I'd post some again.

Started with these parts


and the blank on the left



Ended up with this

[/UR[URL=http://s147.photobucket.com/user/Tsquare_02/media/DSC_0286_edited-1%20copy_zpsysj5gsw6.jpg.html]

You sure have great taste in rifles. That rifle would be a one gun battery for anywhere in the world.

I just noticed that I didn't mention the chambering for the rifle. It's a 9.3x64 Brenneke. Sorry about that lapse.

TT

Here are a couple more. A Colt Custom Shop SAA 4 3/4 inch 38-40. This gun is unfired...



Another CX-4 Storm in 9mm. It is the bottom gun. It goes well with the 40 and 45 ACP...

Other than cheapo shotgun and a few pistol trades it's been a slow year for me. As a matter of fact the collection is smaller in 2015 than at the end of 2014.

For 2016 I've got a G33/40 build coming up that I'm really excited about though.

Some beautiful rifles on this page.

No custom builds, but rifle additions include a Marlin CB 38-55, Kimber Classic Select 257R and Tikka T3 Forest 6.5x55. Handguns added include a couple of LCR's (22 snubbie and 3" 38), 5 shot Bisley 480 and Sig P320 357 Sig. Then there was an older 870 Trap 12 g that found it's way here.

2015 was a very good year for acquiring new guns. This is another one, a first year model 1894 32-40 that is in such great condition, the color/case is still evident on the hammer and lever...

I bought a 1959 Winchester M70 Alaskan 338 WM that I've been pining for forever. I had it stocked into an Echols Legend and scoped with an S&B Zenith 3-12x50. It's shooting 3/4 MOA with 225 TTSX and I have a bunch more stuff to try. This will be my classic elk gun.

Eric

Although I have one other rifle in the works, this early 50's M70 300 H&H is my only new addition for 2015, a grand old rifle that has hunted many places around the globe and still shoots great.
