Steely, when you find your action and get it all tubed up give me a shout. I have a stick of wood that'll knock your socks off all inletted for a G33. It's French and not Black but it'll still light you up!

Mines always ran in some super African Walnut and most likely always will so this stick can go.

I must lack imagination because my wish is for a simple 7600 Remington with 20" bbl chambered in .358 Win.

I'd bring back Monty Kennedy for "just one more". BRNO M21 or a very good G33/40 action in 270 22.75" tube, blind magazine. Tessier (SP) stick. Lightly engraved. All up maybe 7.25 pounds. A twin to the one in the safe except with his wild roll over comb rather than a straight comb sporter. Boy do I miss him, thinking of him causes tears to well up, shoot.

Just what I'd get but chambered for the 7x57 and a Leupold 4x33 with a #1 reticule. Metal would be matte finished and the stock an oil rubbed satin finish.

I just completed mine. 17 Javalina on a L461 Sako 23inc fluted Lilja, Dropped the whole mess in a Basner stock. 7lbs 7oz redy to drop fur

Barrel ordered for a Tac20 on a 722 in a Banser. Light Mag fluted from Pac-nor.

Spring will be a Sleeved 700 in a swirley A5 Hart barrel in fluted Sendero countour chamber 6mmX47Laupa.

1st thing my 338-06 Ackley is getting a little Jenny Craig, an inch lopped off the barrel and a helical flute, Karl to pimp the bolt dropping it in an black edge coated in Titaium grey.

That is what is budgeted. More money will bring more, more hunts will bring less. That is the short list.

A Model 7 with a CDL stock and a Pac-Nor 22 inch tube in 35 Remington.

I guess I lack imagination.

I like the way you think. I've always wanted to do a 760 all in matte with a 19" barrel in 338/06 with a XS sight and a fiber optic front.

For pure hunting a 25 SAUM in a stainless Sako action and Mcmillan stock. Gap Camo, cerakoted matte black and NP3 internals. Flutted 25 inch stainless barrel around .60-.63 at the muzzle. (notice the 25 theme) I originally wanted to use a Remington Ti action but Sako's hold four in the belly and Remingtons might hold two. But the Remington would be significantly lighter so it still might get the nod.

The other for looks would be a 257 Roberts or 308 Mannlicher style rifle on a worked over G33/40. NECG sights and a quick release 4x scope. Case colored action, rings, base, foreend, and floorplate. Fleur de lis scroll work on the wood and a thin red rubber recoil pad.

I've always' wanted a nice custom .257Roberts built on a Dakota Model#10 single shot action. Something light, slim and with a really nice piece of light colored english walnut with dark mineral streaking. A nice set of iron sights, barrel swivel (not banded) and a skeleton butplate with a gripcap to match.

Not a Dakota factory gun, a nice custom built by a gunsmith that cared as much about how it shot and looked as he did about making a profit on the job.

You, my friend took the words directly from my mouth. I would, however top it with a modern day scope and probabll stick it in an awesome piece of wood.

I'm trying to locate a smith currently who will get semi excited and do a job for me. So far most have told me they really aren't that interested.

I want a sako action turned into a mannlicher stocked rifle. I want a pretty good walnut stock - straight stock no monte carlo. A very dark oil finish with no gloss at all.

No sights front or rear, and a blind box - no mag or floorplate. A full matte blue finish on the barrel and receiver.

.308 in caliber.

Then I'm going to stick a 1.5-6x Swarovski on it and call it a day.

I'm a mannlicher nut but I really hate iron sights on scope rifles. I want something I can carry around, sit in a stand, and still look good.

After that gets done I'm going to look at getting a No. 1 Ruger in .280AI done with a maple stock and clean it up a bit.

What Brad and Steelhead already said would work just fine.

That or an all-out Hagn falling block with octagonal barrel in the Bob, 7X57 or 300H&H. Come to think of it, a matching set with all 3 would do. ;-)


Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

Hands down, it would be one of D'arcy's M98's. Probably in a 30-06. I could settle on a late model "pre-64" action with the metal work by Conrad Gerega, and the stock by Lee Helgeland though.

In reality, I'll rebarrel my early model Ruger 77 swinger in a 338-06 and have Lee stock it, and probably have Jim at Half Moon blue it since 'Ol Smokin Joe Stinaeur is no longer among the living. Even then, I'll be 4500 into a Ruger that will be too pretty to hunt with.

Now you see why I own Kimbers, and semi custom jobs that I don't cry about beating the crap out of smile

Oh yeah. Speaking of no loger among the living. Tommy Burgess passed on last week, his funeral was last Monday. I never had him do any work for me, but he has influenced so many of the "gun people" that I know in this part of the land that I still feel diminished somehow. I'd seen much of his work here in the Valley and he was a true craftsman with an amazing eye for the "details" He will be missed. May he rest in peace...

I've got a few...

A 7600 in .338 Federal with laminate stocks and a 20" stainless barrel. smile

A stainless Rem 700 in .338/06 or .338 Federal, 22" with an EDGE.

A Stainless Win 70 or Rem 700 in .308 Norma, 22", McSwirly.

Lastly, a stainless .350RM on an undecided action.

All these are doable for me, but only 1 at a time. grin

A G33/40 in 270 with kreiger barrel,all metal by Tom Burgess(as noted above unfortunately no longer with us).Stockmaker would be Earl Milliron in French.

An Echols 7 mag or 300 winchester in his Edge stock.

A "John Jobson"type lightweight 375H&H with 23" barrel, on a pre 64 M70 action,French walnut built by Al Biesen.

Another Len Brownell rifle;anything would do.

Anything by Duane Wiebe,maybe a light 270 or 280,or a big 458 of some type.

A Griffen&Howe 30/06 on a pre 64 M70 action.

A 404 Jeffrey or 416 By VanHorn

A J O'C 270 built by guess who?

Any M70 metal work by Mark Penrod,preferably in 257 Roberts, with stock by Jerry Fisher.

A pimped out 220 swift on a M70 from the Winchester custom shop(New Haven-pre64)

I want back: the 300 win mag on a Burgess 1909 action stocked by Maurice Ottmar;the Len Brownell 270 M70 built for Bob Chatfield-Taylor that went to Africa and on sheep hunts with Jack an Eleanor O'Connor.I amjust not too bright frown
