Rifle Build Thread!

M70 stainless classic 458Lott. A legend. The guns not bad either.

This was my first stab at a target style rifle, Im a hunter and not really a target guy and didn't like the look of the new age target rifles, chassis for example are excellent and practical but cold and ugly !

So here's is a 6.5 Creedmoor built by Gary Flach on a Stiller Predator single shot short action, 28 inch 1-8 twist Sendero contour Bartlein Barrel, Timney Calvin Elite Trigger, Wildcat Vartac stock.

8. Ross Mk 10 rifle, McGowen 1-10" barrel chambered 303 British. bedded in a Custom sporter stock. Complete re-blue. Jennings smithing.

One of my fav CGN builds for sure.

I’ve only got one full custom at the moment, most of my others are pretty much factory rifles that have been tweaked with barrels and stocks etc

358 Norma on a 1935 Brazilian Mauser. Built by Frank Magro and Lou Bates out of Cranbrook. Slick as a whistle and plenty accurate with 250 A-Frames.

Ron Kenneth Smith! Alberta's, man, barrels and legend. I've been to his shop a few times, and I really go back in time when viewing his old machinery and other tools....amazing! He is probably the oldest person in North America who makes barrel.

Wrong .... The wood stays! IMHO, it does need sights to finish it off.

Very nice either way.

Old slimmy isn’t the only one who likes stirring the pot; the wood looks great

I thought about putting sights on it, but I’ll probably never use them….I’ll save the few hundred bucks for shooting and hunting with the old beast.

I agree. I will never use the sights on my 275 but put them on anyways for the bling.

I only have one rifle with out iron sights and I feel like it is missing something… I like irons on a blued wood stock rifle, and all my rifles are blued wood stock flavour!!

I don't use them. I just put them on that 275 for looks and they look great.

Try to keep up.

Your right ! I can see them but cannot focus them ! RJ

 

[Sharps45-70]

Thanks for all of the contributions! Let's try to keep the banter to a minimum so we can focus on the wonderful builds folks have!

You are all making me want to go out and do a build on a Model 70 I have laying around...
