Beautiful wood on those rifles Terry.

Thanks. I really enjoy the 9.3X62. The 375 H&H was just too much of a good thing :^)

Terry

There are some nice looking rifles!

Browning Safari .375H&H (PF model, & salt wood )
It feeds like crazy, shoots lights out, and almost no rust, got lucky!





On the way is a Ruger Mk II in .404 Jeffery, should be ready in September!

35 Whelen, VZ-24. Boyds JRS stock. Alumahyde II coating on metal.

My Custom -Left hand- Mauser 35 whelen.

Outstanding rifle you got there.

Nothing fancy, but both see a lot of use. Will be using both rifles on and off for spring bear. Come on spring! And hopefully Kodiak in the near future.



375 Ruger and 375 H&H.

My two 35 Whelen's, no pics of my 350 RM (Ruger Mark II).The classic has a 2-7 VXI on it now.

My Dakota M76 Safari in .375 H&H:



And a Sako Safari Grade in .375 H&H:



The same Sako Safari Grade and a Remington M700 Alaskan Wilderness Rifle, also in .375 H&H.



I obviously have a THING for .375 H&H!

Some nice work here!

Timberline, that pic of your Dakota on the hide with the Kudu horn & ammo pouch is outstanding!!!!!!!!!

Heres a couple of mine.

LH SS MRC .358 Norma Mag, Pac-Nor bbl. @25", Accurate Innovations Stock. (Excuse the mess)




-----------------------------------------------------------------

LH SS MRC 375 H+H (formerly a 416 Rem Mag), #5 Pac-Nor @ 21", Bansner Hi-tech stock, NECG hardware, It now has a Vari XIII 1.75-6 on it in Leuppy QR rings)

Heres the start of my next bigbore.

Winchester 1917 action (slightly tweaked). I just agreed to buy a 458bbl (douglas). its gonna be a 20", opensighted bear buster/hiking/camp rifle.

Here is my lastes, just picked this up from a member here. Herters FN action, chambered in .375/284. It has a 18" barrel, and a trigger I am not real wild about. Have not worked up any loads yet, but should shortly.

Here's my pre-64 Winchester 70 in 375 H&H

It has a Kollmorgen 4X32 scope on a Griffin & Howe quick release mount, when you slide it out you can put in the Lyman peep. This is one of my favourite rifles.

I likey the 1917 action. I have a Model 30 Express and want to do something with it. What have you done in as far as tweeking yuor action? Thanks for the info and by the way what stock option are you looking at on this build?

From factory, I had the dogleg bolt handle replaced. Also the trigger is a jaeggar (sp). when I got the action it was real clean, but holes drilled all over it. Had them filled in. Also with the straightened bottom metal, somebody cut the mag box in half instead of getting the right action screws.

replaced the magbox. also at some time, the ejector spring broke so a tab was welded on to force the ejector out. I replaced the ejector. Then I had the smith add the WWG peep sight. I had a sight that was made for a rem 870 and it fit the contour.

For the stock, I have a cheap piece of walnut to get me through til I can find a decent piece of wood.

Heres the action in the temp stock.

I rate that as one of the finest looking rifles I've seen. Nice satin finish on the metal and a nice shaped stock, straight grain wood with mineral streaks, suberb finish and checkering. A good scope and mounts to match. 35 Whelen ..... you can walk the earth and hunt all over the world ..... there would be very few instances that a man would be under gunned with a 35 Whelen.

Ruger #1 45-70 Govt. (The stripe on the forearm is just sunlight through a chair, not a flaw in the wood).
