Well after almost a year to get the parts and the money, im happy to introduce to you all my new pride and joy :)

Now here are the details for the one who might care :)

MAK tube gun chassis with 5 rds mag
REM 700 action ( trued by Juanvaldez )
Shillen barrel 1/12 twist straight contour 18 inches finished (Juanvaldez did the work too and i forgot the thx Jerry from mystic precision for getting the barrel!)
Shilen trigger
PRS buttstock
ERGO tactical grip with palm rest
Leupold LRT 6.5-20 X 50mm (not in the picture, coming in the mail soon )


Obviously she is front heavy but i didnt build her for hunting :) so with a bipod or a rest its going to be all good!

So this is it...start to smell like range time :)

Very nice. Kevin is having export problems getting his stocks to Canada these days, so yours might be one of the last Canadian tube guns.

No wonder it took a year.

I really like your Rifle. We need a ball park price...:) And make sure you throw up some results for us after you take her out.
 
Ok im curious now. Does someone want to explain what a tube gun is? Im going to try searching. From a noob standpoint, it looks like a rifle with a thick barrel...

Yes, i'll use search - but now im curious!

Stock encapsulates the action and since they use a round tube - you see where the name comes from.

Exception would be the MDT chassis which does the same thing but doesn't use a round tube but a shaped extrusion. These type of stocks are usually called CHASSIS's

Symantics - the application is the same.

Cosmetics quite a bit different.

WOW! that is very nice. I love the width of the barrel. However I am not too crazy on giant knob on the end of the pistol grip. The palm rest.
 
Wow, nice and simble!
Any body know if is possible to do a tube gun in 300 wm or wsm? in Canada please ;)
I already look on MAK site and no long action :(

Thanks

MAK does make a long action stock but I have never seen one in Canada. There may be some up here but finding someone that wants to sell theirs could be tricky.
