Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Coals in the Fire?

got a Remington 700 LH in the works of becoming a 6.5-284 Norma...

gonna have a McMillan A-5 in 60% OD and 40% black
30" Krieger heavy palma with a brake and straight fluted
PTG bolt spiral fluted and speedlock system
PTG bottom metal
Shilen trigger
AZ precision bolt knob (marksman style)
Cerakote OD with Black flutes
20 MOA base
Leupold VX3 6.5-20x50
Harris Bipod

I've got:

1) Parker Hale '98 Mauser action, #3 taper Shilen, and Bansner stock going together in 338-06 A-Square

2) Stevens 200 long action, #4 Broughton 1-in-8" twist 6.5mm barrel, Timney trigger, and BVSS stock chambered to 6.5-06 AI

Both in the works, and a fair bit of both using parts purchased here on the 'fire!

One I'm fantasizing about is a Borden Alpine single shot, #5 Shilen 1-in-8", Jewell, don't know about the stock in .22-6mm Rem AI

Ya something close to that.....grin. I've seen a few colors I wanted at first and changed my mind when it came order time, but not that one. That rig takes the cake.

One coal out of the fire. HAWKI and I completed 2. today

Sako AIII 375 H&H 20� new factory barrel McMillan Sako hunter (70% black and 30% olive)

Is that your pig gun?

one of 4 or 5 now

Looks like you met your velocity goal. Sweet looking rig and it has got to hit hard...

My only coals in the fire concern a short-ish #3 260 in a Compact pattern. I'm wanting something easy-shooting and handy that will still deliver at longer ranges. Long range around here is maybe 400-500yds.

7 Rem Mag
Win Mod 70 action
McSwirly Supergrade,(50% Woodland, 25% Med Tan, 25% black)
Pac Nor #4, 1" shank, 1:9 twist cut to 26"

I've got the action, handle is ordered and should be close to being done. It may end up a STW when its all said and done though.

I want that 330 Dakota on Kempfelds rifle page , this one

Nothing too exotic. Loading for a couple of bookends I just picked up - a M-70 transitional in 257R that looks like it's never had a scope on it so need to decide whether to keep it that way or put at old Lyman 4x on it. The other is a 330 Dakota with a great piece of wood I mean to hunt next year.

Have a M-99 out for metal work turning it into a 338-284 and then a classic wood stock. But really waiting for the Hawkeye African 404 Ruger wood stock to be put back together - there's a rifle that brings back memories of old Portuguese East Africa.

have a 1917 German Mauser action off getting a Lothar-Walther 6.5 Swede barrel installed. Have a nice Fajen walnut stock blank here waiting for it.

Smith called and said my BSA single shot 22 is done. The thing was a mess, so the tube was cut to 20", new front sight, new fore end and butt plate. A reblue was also needed. If I can ever get home to pick it up, will make a nice squirrel gun.

Hopefully, I'll be working on a 358 WSSM of some sort before next fall. Just can't decide if I want to do it on a bolt or a single shot.

I told my wife,"No more"........she knows I'm a terrible liar...grin!

I'm waiting on a stock from Mcmillan for a R700 .280AI Bartlein, 1-9" #3 5R. With an Edge it should finish at 8lbs with Talley LW's and a 10X PMII....

I don't know that I'll follow through, but the idea of building a long range tac rifle in .338RUM has been occupying my thoughts lately. 700 action, Mickey tac stock, 28-30" heavy barrel, Nightforce glass.

Is the BSA single a Martini? If so, I am definitely looking forward to pics... I'm jonesing for a cadet (whether BSA, WR, or other) in a centerfire 22 or 218 Bee.

I'd damn near kill for a nice Cadet in say 218Bee or 22 Hornet or K version thereof.

Just got these in the mail last week. Still have to fit and bed the stocks.
