A sweet thread here. I have enjoyed watching it and waiting to see the reassembled rifle and what the scales say. Be Well, Judman.

Don’t know if it came up, but I have a long action 700 that had a lightweight fluted 7 Dakota barrel on it that had the same lightening cut on the action where it was turned smaller between the front and rear ring. If I remember correctly the receiver was engraved with Tooley Custom Rifles on the side of the action where the receiver was turned. It was a very light scratch engraving, but that’s the only one I had seen lightened that way. May give you some insight to where it came from.

Scotty, 20”. Thin sumbitch too. Have to throw er on a scale when I get it all put back together, she’s light. Didnt finish reading the thread yet, but that muzzle reminds me of the PacNor mountain rifle contour I had done in .358 for my 35 Rem that ended up a 358 lol. Its amazing how thin theyll go and hold up.

that barrel aught to whip around nicely.
The chances they come, and the chances they go. But the time. You don't get that back.

I’m sure the the 358 will be a 🍑 but. The Ruger looks pretty damn sweet too.

Both turned out great, I wish there was a place around me that did that. I just build a rifle (LA Rem 700) on a youth stock for my daughter that would look awesome getting one of those dips.
