Hell,even I won't take that bet! Maybe I need to talk to Judy, let her know she's been hood winked... BUT, as a Loony, of course I can't do that, would cost me my Loony card... DF

I built this 458 Win mag a few years ago, it's a Brno VZ24 action, MRC #5 contour barrel cut to 21". NECG express sights. Bastogne stock, Timney trigger, Mauser wing safety. Re-contoured military bottom metal. Ebony grip cap, dual crossbolts, Pachmeyer pad. Rust blued. Weights 8.5lbs
The dog is my female Akita, in this pic she is about a year old, she will be 4 in January, best dog I have ever owned.

I thought about something similar, but with a Lyman receiver sight in lieu of the rear bbl sight.

MAN, those girls are beautiful! That'd be like simultaneously dating the cast of Charlies Angels + Linda Carter. Very nice collection sir!

Just finished all the work I can do on my Brno 21. Gotta have it checkered and it will be complete- That's pretty enough I'd even own it as a Creedmoor! But I sleep better knowing it's NOT.

That's a beautiful rifle James. You're a talented artist.

Great Mill/Burg shows how you don't have to spend a truckload of money on a blank to have a great custom rifle.

I really like that Burgess/Milliron rifle, Whitebird. Refined simplicity. Just hits all my buttons, beautiful.

It may not look like much, compared with all the real custom rifles pictured here, but this is my go-to deer rifle, a Douglas featherweight barrel in 7X57 on a G33/40 action, with a Fajen stock, Dayton Traister trigger and Buehler safety. It has been to Africa, where it accounted for plains game up to and including wildebeest, and this record book Peter's gazelle. The scope is a 4X Lyman All American PermaCenter with post and crosshair reticle.

"not look like much"? Looks like a mighty fine Mauser to me.

On a different level, this is my .505 Gibbs, built for me by Lon Paul on a double square bridge Granite Mountain Mauser action. The scope mount and receiver sight are by Smithson.
