Mark Penrod built Model 70
That's a beautiful rifle what are the specs on it? Stock, barrel, caliber, trigger??
yes sir
Mark extensively reworked the action. It has his bolt release (checkered), his handle (checkered), the bolt shroud has been scalloped to accommodate the safety, the trigger is original but has been recut, narrowed, and shotgun faced, the tang has been reshaped, the extractor is a spring steel Wisner, the bottom metal is original Blackburn, the stock is an Echols McMillan, and the barrel is a Krieger. It is chambered for the 280 Remington.
I like it,I like it a lot!!!!
on the 280, a Vx3i 4.5-14x40 (30mm tube, side parallax, CDS, Windplex), on the 338-06 a vx3i 3.5-10x40 Duplex
Tikka t3X
Benchmark 23" 1:8.5 twist 280 Ackley
McMillan Sako Compact Edge
Atlas aluminum bottom metal
Did you reshape the atlas trigger guard or that still the factory plastic in the picture? I have the atlas and I'm not a fan of the shape...but it is an improvement over the plastic.

Great thread. Got a little bit of everything in here...stainless, blue, synthetic, wood...love the variety!
Here's my entry. It's a custom BSA built for my Dad in '61. 7mm Weatherby, hand-polished metal. Engraved escutcheon with Dad's initials on the floorplate. Half-decently figured piece of walnut on her to boot! I never get tired of posting these photos. The rifle was Dad's pride and joy and I was lucky enough to inherit it when we divided up his guns. Would love to take it and him back in the field one more time but I'll have to settle for taking his rifle and knowing that he's there with me.

WOW!!! What a beautiful piece of art that old Weatherby! Thanks very much for posting that! I love how you have the receipt too, amazing!
Just noticed that pic was with the OEM plastic TG. Now has Atlas one. Bit clunkier shaped, but I prefer them to the plastic
