My trusty 450 Ackley- refurbished - pics. - 09/25/08
Thought I'd share with everyone some pics of my old 450 Ackley that I have had tidied up a bit. It started life with me in 1990 as a 458 Win Mag I had built, shot it for years as a 458 then decided to rechamber to a 450 Ackley about 6 years ago.
This is without a doubt my favourite rifle, its one of those rifles you can pick up and instantly hit things with it, sort of an arm extension. Anyway a few months ago I had a gunsmith mate of mine here tidy it up a bit, he added the stock from Richards Microfit, a limbsaver, Brownells bolt handle and the sights and barrel band sling swivel. The Redfield 5 star 2-7 has been on it since day 1 and never moves point of impact.
Though I'd share my happiness of how the project turned out.
