Guess I'll add mine to the bunch. Matched set of Custom Pre-64s Top - 240Wby with Meostar 4-12x40 Bottom - 220 Wilson Arrow with Monarch UCC 4-12x40 Custom Pre-64 in 257Wby with Conquest 4.5-14x50 And my first Pre-64 in 220Swift with Burris Four-X 2.5-10x50 Only pic with game - the 220 Wilson Arrow got bloodied last week.
Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

Phew, that is a damn nice rifle. Looks like a lot of very cool machining went into that one. I like those bases. Thanks for sharing it with us.

That is a beautiful rifle. The bases remind me of the Brno ZG 47 with integral bases machined on the receiver?

Here are 2 pics after the blocks for the bases were welded on to the reciever and machined.
