Custom stainless 700/#3 Gaillard/Rifle Basix/McMillan Remington hunter snow-camo McSwirly in .204. Bolt bushed in and out by Lyle Linkaitis, screwed and glued by Ted Gaillard. 4.5-14 Leupold LR with Varmint Hunter Reticle. Strangly I don't care for the .204 that awful much, but do like that gun.

4 Vanguard .223s in different Boyds stocks. Various Leupolds, mine's got a Mark 4.The kids will take what they get and be happy.

2 Rem 700s Laminated Varmints, one bone stock and the other fitted out with a Palma contour 1-8 Gaillard, Jewel and 6.5-20 Mark 4. The stocker has a 6.5-20 LR with Varminter.

Kimber Varmint 22/250 with 4.5-14 LR and B&C reticle. Shoots like a bench gun, carries like a sporter. I smeared a little extra tru-oil on the stock to make the tigertail pop but sometimes you just gotta leave well enough alone.

Model 70 22/250 with 26" Gaillard 1-10 and Tubbs speed lock. Ted squared everything up and made it the last thing that hundreds of coyotes ever heard. I think he had to scrub the shop down from top to bottom after even letting a Winchester in there, but he dunner. Actually he did 2 M70s for me, but I had to twist his arm halfway off.

XR100 with Sendero contour Lilja 1-8 twist. 6.5-20 Mark 4. Craige Douglas put that one together and chambered it in 22/243 Middlestead.
