Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats What are you building for the 2020 hunt?

Have all kinds of new stuff to play with once it cools down a little more. I bought a Forster Co-ax press, Forster BR FL dies, magnetospeed chronograph and a BUNCH of RL26.

SS 6x on top of that?

Not a build but sent out a Fieldcraft 22-250 for a rechamber to 22 CM, if all the stars and planets align and the ATF pulls their thumbs out of their A$$ I will get the stamp approved in April for my Dead Air Nomad 30.

My northern 16 day BC hunt for goat, elk and moose was deferred to 2021 via Torino... The rifle will be my M700 rebore 338-06 (by Cliff LaBounty in 1994), bedded in a McM Rem KS takeoff with the 185 gr TSX. It has worked over the years.

Looks like one click right windage.
Nice bulls.

efw- That’s a great looking rifle! Karnis did some nice looking work.

I have a mini grendel that may see deer this year if I don’t go muzzleloader. Boomer is whittling the stock. I have it in the youth stock at the moment.

I bought a Mauser 98 barreled action for some reason and have been trying to figure out what to do with it. Kinda want a thumper. Maybe just go 9.3x62 Shaw rebarrel and a laminate stock I can file on for a while.

this spring i rebuilt a Remington 30 Express with the following

Brux barrel ,contour #4,s.s. match grade,7 1/2 twist,25 inch barrel, 257 Roberts
new Timney trigger
recut inside of wood stock barrel channel,glass bedded and floated barrel
with my hands loads,this rifle shoots 115gr. Berger bullets and 115 gr. Nosler B.T. 1/2 inch 5 shot groups off a cement bench with target rests

My new Timney trigger is backordered.
There is a scalper on Ebay that wants double price.
I waited it out, and now the trigger is in the mail from Timney.
Meanwhile, I had to cannibalize another rifle for a trigger for the fitting.



Where it is red, I have to dig out the stock for clearance.... including some of the rear pillar.

Coriolis Effect.

MM thanks yeah he was very skilled in stockcraft as well as extraordinarily generous with his time I remember being pretty astounded by how little he charged me on that. Just an all around great guy like many I’ve met here.

A mini-Grendel sounds awesome to carry and shoot and totally up to the job of killing a whitetail.




That sounds like a great plan but I don’t think Shaw makes 9,3 tubes? I could be wrong on that tho...

Funny you mention this as there is a FN 98 action in the classifieds right now and I’ve been seriously contemplating a full blown custom right from a stock blank up in 9,3x62 or .30-06.

One... last... custom...

6.5 creedmoor and 6.5x55

I bore coated the barrels last night.



I have to put on 3 more scopes and load ammo.


I leave for hunting in a week.
