Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Custom rifle you've always wanted to do?

being older, i did have my custom made. it's almost done.
living out here in nm., hunting here and other places a 9 kb. rifle or there abouts isn't all that heavy.

mine is a benchmark built 280ai, with a fluted number 4 lilja contoured 26 inch barrel. benchmark blueprinted the action, made, chambered and test fired the barrel and sent a casing drilled and tapped for a stoney point oal gauge.
carl kampfeld did the bolt.

first stock i had made is still MIA in ak., with art peck aka sitka deer, but jim62 made me another out of english walnut and carol at ahlman's in mn., is doing the checkering.
jim did a custom foreend tip and inletted talley sling swivel studs.

it'll wear a leupold 3.5-10x40 with a b&c reticle, sitting in conetrol bases and gentry rings.

heres a few in the works pics.
