As was posted before but now with pictures. This is a project I have been waiting on for a long time. But now that it is here, it is as they say, it is WORTH the wait. It was built by Ted Gaillard and Lyle Linkaitis.

This gun is a dream of mine, a dream that has come true. It is kind of a Hienz 57 you could say. It has a little of all worlds. For me there is nothing more I could do to make it better. I have read a lot of info on shooting, reloading, and other stuff that I can hardly remember, and this is what came of it. I built it to push lead a accurately as possible at extreme ranges. This I will do. Thanks to Ted and Lyle for this beautiful thing that my brother refers to as my "Mistress":D:D:D



The other weekend I was out and stretched its legs. This is 1319 yards at a 14x21 steel plate. 36.5 MOA up and 1.5 windage. It was hard not to hit the plate. There is one round just to the very left of the left bolt in the bottom of the plate and you can see the rest. The one off to the right I was holding a little right when the trigger went off. No exuses though. I will do better and post it lated. Just thought you all would like to see this.

Now for those who don't believe, if you live close to BowIsland or Medicine Hat,PM me and we will go out and you can see for your self. Shooting this far is KICK @$$!!

I think it would look great maybe match the font used on the barrel too. Only silver on the black to give it some contrast wonder if an old school pin-striper could do it in silver leaf with a shot of flat clear coat over it.
 
I will confess I had to sit and look at it for a looooong time to realize it was there and boy do I love it!!! Can't say enough about Ted Gaillard. The mans word is stone and his work is flawless. It is just about too nice to shoot... but trust me-it will get the lead down the pipe!!!!
 
Nice rifle for sure, I like facing my rings to the other side so I don't see the nuts from the action side..:D
 
Nice shooting Bro , hope you have five or so rounds with my name on them for this weekend!
We should put Heather behind her and try 1300yrds. Hate to see my 8yr old daughter show you up, that would suck!!!!!
 
Very nice, you cannot beat at good 7mm

Ted's work is always great, Congrat's on a fine rifle.

You should have a look at some Matrix 190gn bullets, you will be even more impressed !
 
I am still drooling at the pics..man that's a nice piece of work..put me on the list when you want to sell..:D:D..I will start saving...;)
