I was going to ask, if they welded then machined but I thought no to much distortion of the action. Very impressive.

I remember reading about him in the custom builders section of The Shooter's Bibles going back to 2000. Curt Crum turns his stocks. Last edited by Tony_Soprano; 04/12/16.

Pre 64 My 70 7 Rem mag by Len Brownell, French walnut and nicely checkered and shaped stock. Old school custom rifle and hard not to like. Tony Suprano's rifle is very cool beans ! The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I'm glad you are posting pictures too, so we can see some beautiful rifles. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

BobinNH Campfire 'Bwana B Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 35,900	bsa/Odessa: Thanks. Brownell was one of my favorite custom rifle makers. he did it all...metal and stock work. Very talented guy. A contemporary of JOC, he built the 30/06 FW that was Eleanor O'Connors "big rifle" and with which she killed elephant on Zambia and tiger in India. I am the third owner of this rifle, which was built in the early 70's,and (i'm told) the first to shoot it LOL! Don't have many closeups but will see what we got here: The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

You will have to spend a couple years in appreciation school to accomplish that... By the way, when you headed this way so we can shoot something? Last edited by shrapnel; 04/15/16.

Give me a few minutes or days and let me see if I can find a rifle in my vault that is worth shooting. Do you recommend shooting rats with Bitterroot bullets?
