Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Shaen Rifles #2

So last fall I sent a box of parts to Shaen @ Shaen Rifles and he sent me back a rifle that turned out exactly as I had hoped. Everything about that build is perfect and for anyone not familiar with Shaen he is just a heck of a nice guy to deal with and as far as the quality of his work he's at the top of his game.

Since that rifle turned out so good I figured lets do it again I always like having "twins" so off went another box of parts. Just got this one back yesterday evening so haven't shot it yet but thought I'd post a couple pictures. Other than the color of the stock - this one is brown & black speckle and the scope parts are all the same as the 1st one. We did decide to coat the action/rings/bottom metal in Birdsong Black-T and I think it turned out pretty darn slick.

I have no doubt this one will shoot as good as the first one, which has been just a fantastic shooting rifle with pretty much everything I have tried which has been limited to factory ammo.

Thanks Shaen for another outstanding rifle!!
