Lefty just finished

[Rembo]

Just finished up this Rem 700 lefty for my oldest son.

1977 action, semi-trued and reblued.

Shilen #2 .284" 9" twist at 24"

McMillan Hunters Edge handle.

Weighs 6lbs 5 ounces as pictured...with talley LW's and a 3-9 Leupy lightweight it'll be a hair over 7lbs

Think he'll like it?

If he doesn't you can be my dad.

I was thinking the same thing Chuck. Very nice.

 

[rebel01]

If he does'nt I WILL!!.

 

[RickF]

I think Chuck beat us all to it!

 

[TangoKilo]

Chuck is always looking for a sugar daddy!!

Looks like a great rifle Rembo.
What glass is going to end up on top??

 

[chuck nelson]

Laughing. I have no shame.

 

[Crashman]

Nice piece of kit, your son is a lucky boy!

 

[bellero]

Wow 6lbs 5 ounces! That would be an amazing mountain rifle. When I think my Sako is just under 11lbs, it makes me regrets my choice of a heavy barrel and laminated stock.

Nice rifle, congrats

SOB I wish my dad built me custom rifles. The crotchety old man makes me put his guns together, roll him reloads AND sight the sob in for him....

It's ok by me though

So what's this youre slumming a .338 Fed now?

Great looking rifle but if that one was for me (I am LH) I would leave at least 1/2 lb more steel on the barrel....b/c I can't shoot lightweight rifles accurately

 

[grunt19]

Nice looking rifle. What was the finished weight of just the stock ?

 

[woodlotowner]

So...he likes the gun or not??

 

[Rembo]

So...he likes the gun or not??

I'm in the process of building a new rifle (338-06), have a Ruger 77 I want a new barrel and stock for. If you don't mend me asking what is the approx. cost to build a rifle like yours?

a McMillan Edge stock will cost you about $600, a barrel blank about $375-$450 depending on what name you like to drop, and you'll pay a 'smith about $300-$400 to put it all together with a bedding job. And then there are extras like action trueing, fluting, action mods etc.
