333OKH,
And you told us the wood and colour were "reserved"! No way, that wood is gorgeous!!! Beautiful rifle in every way, Congratulations.
If you don't mind could you let us know where you purchased that bit of NZ timber?
Regards

JohnT Well it was kinda reserved until they carved it. The wood was bought from New Zealand and shipped here from an outfit called NZ Walnut and Brian Kerr [http://www.nzwalnut.co.nz/]. His web page is outdated as far as what pictures are shown in each category, but you just need to ask and he will start sending you photos.

consistently less than 1 inch goups. I have had less than 1/2 inch three shot groups, but hell I shake a little.

If that isn't one of the prettiest rifles I've ever seen....Wow! The lines, the wood, the proportions...

Well thought out, then executed, congrats on a dream rifle many would love to replicate and be proud to own/use.
Properly 'break it in' on some hunts this year and take some pics to share!
Nicely done, very sweet.

33 okh-
That is a beautiful rifle to say the least.
Perhaps you have said this before, who made up those scope bases?
Thanks in advance.

If I'm reading the notes at the bottom correctly, that would be 5 at 305 with 155 gr. Mega's. If so, that one's a keeper! Best Regards
