Thx Butch, they're basically tools to me but I want them to work to perfection. This rig's bounced a lot of game and my wifes taken a lot of elk with it as well.

Thx Tanner, it's got some panache for sure. But when I'm shooting it I don't know...grin

Been watching this thread from the start. There are some fine rifles here. Dober, I've been hoping you would post a complete pic of that G33/40 of yours. Like it a lot.

Some really nice rifles on this thread! This one is a Kar98 my dad put together in .257 Roberts. ![[Linked Image]](http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/msj348/DSC00523.jpg)

Here's a little better photo of the rifle The G33/40 is the bottom rifle. The top rifle is a 1909 Argentine barreled and chambered for the 416 Ruger. Gay Goudy stocked that rifle as well. TT ![[Linked Image]](http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r290/Tsquare_02/DSC_0105.jpg) TT did you retain the Argy bottom metal for this rifle? Beautiful guns! Mke

Fantastic pair T. Nice Argy, big fan. Got a mild custom Argy in the safe in 7X57, still unfired except for proof test. Big thanks for your posts and the numerous ones as shared by others. I haven't been this inspired by any one thread as I can recall. Now. I just hope I can calm down enough to finish off the inlet whenever my hunk of claro shows up from RMF.  Here's a right side and left side of my G33/40 stocked by Gary Goudy. It has a Danny Pedersen barrel chambered for the 25-06 cartridge.

X2 I'm probably as anxious to see it as you are. Well, perhaps not quite, but almost. Please post when you get it.
Many thanks,
Tom

No, when I got the rifle it already had custom bottom metal on it. I think I've picked up three or four 09s in the past five or six years, an none of them had the original military bottom metal.

Thanks.
I always thought that was the big lure with them. Are they also considered a better made action so people want to use them regardless of the hinged bottom metal?

Which loads does the bob like? Thanks. It seems to shoot the several combinations I've tried really well. It does fine with 100 and 120gr Hornadys, and IMR 4350 & 4831. My current load is 47.5 gr Reloader 19 and the 100gr Hornady right now because it does well with them and I have a lot of both.

It's a rock star all right. I like the straight bolt handle. How much does she weigh? When I get down to Bozeman, I'll buy you lunch at the little Mexican place on Main.

Ed, that is a stunning rifle. Was it any big deal to get a M98 bolt shroud fitted to the M96?
Congrats.
