Good looking rifle, what is it?

jdunham, Red rifle is .243 A.I. AKA Bloody Mary Rio7

Yeah, Randy (oldman03} and I, painted it for Him, using paint that He furnished and the color that He wanted. Said it did not shoot worth a crap in that color, so He repainted it Himself, in the current color. Shoots like Hell, afire, with Him behind the trigger. miles

Miles, The way I remember it you and oldman03 painted the stock 2 or 3 times and they all looked common to me, so i sanded it and was going to try to do a flame job, but I liked the red so much I stopped there, thus the birth of Bloody Mary, I sand it and repaint it every year after hunting season riding in my jeep 24-7 don't help the paint job much. Rio7

Yeah, I don't remember the color that we left it for you, but it was some cream color that was pretty plain. miles

Some day I would like to learn how to paint a stock more than 1 color and look nice. Rio7

That's cool.

I love it

Blue, my first try at painting stocks, I painted it a solid color and then put painters tape in places and painted again. Looked OK but you could feel the places where it changed colors. Maybe a clear coat would have fixed that, but I did not try. I used it for a while and then repainted after sanding the rough edges. miles

Morning Miles, Most of my rifles have nice wood, only have 2 with what i call hard rubber O.D. green, I can't tell you how much I dislike O.D. green, painted the other one bright orange it's a .243 A.I. also, kind of my back up rifle if Bloody Mary, goes down, maybe I'll shoot something with it and post a picture Orange Crush.

Dennis, Love Bloody Mary to.

Hunting is over for a few day's fire breaks are finished and we will start burning this morning we would like to burn 5000 acres but will be lucky to get 3000 burned before the weather changes, no more predator hunting for awhile. Thanks for the comments guy's. Rio7

Did you get rid of Aunt Jemima? I was thinking that it had a synthetic stock. Maybe a new barrel? miles

Miles, You right I forgot Aunt Jemima, but i don't hunt with Aunt Jemima, just shoot Long Range, and Aunt Jemima is kinda black not green. Rio7

Yeah I was just thinking that it was not an AI, just a .243 that shoots great. miles

Blue- what do you like for bullets in Bloody Mary?

Dennis, Scenar 105 gr. 41.5 gr. H-4350 CCI -200 Oal 2.80 it's a fairly mild load but it shoots real well in Bloody Mary, it kills like a much larger round, on critters large and small. Blue

Miles, Aunt Jemima, surprises alot of people, when shooting at a distance, its a fun rifle to shoot. Rio7

Blue, I don't figure that I could shoot that good even shooting Aunt Jemima. She is a very good shooter, but a lot of credit goes to the man behind the rifle. You pulled several called shots last year that was impressive. miles

Yep, like calling the 'balls shot'.

That pig had BIG BALLS!!

They did not look that big a 1000 yards. In fact, I could not see them in my scope. miles
