My latest builds - 6.5-06 & 30-06 Both Hart #2 barrels 06 is a SS classic, with PTG BM (green stock) 6.5-06 is a Pre64 Model 70, with Williams BM (brown stock) Stocks have been highly modified and bottom metals floated in.

What is the metal coated with? I sure could go for some $2.50/gal gas and a mean tweet! NRA Benefactor member, disgruntled. Life member: Firearms Owners Against Crime.

Beautiful rifles there sako.. Also, as to how they shoot. They are pretty much customs, they ought to shoot damn well. Probably wouldn't surprise any of us that have had good rifles. I know my 338wm shoots tiny groups. You can always post pics of your targets too, none of us will be offended. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

Both rifles the metal is highly polished, then coated in midnight blue Cerekote. Happy to post some targets. Just know I’m not the bragging type.

Let’s just say they will blow your socks off with my handloads. Very nice. I thought it was midnight blue. That is my favorite cerakote color. I don't brag about my groups or shooting either. I just state the honest truth. Pretty plain and simple. There's a big difference between guys that brag and guys that do/can do.

Trying to put that old P64 on a diet. I’ve got them on my P64 Featherweight and my 264 Win. Surprisingly they fit and shoot real slick for me. Semper Fi
