I think Wyman needs a new rest!

[Tedk]

I've still got mine; three of em. 20 ga, 243Win, and 30 Carb. j

I have these left from 1975. They do come in handy

Please tell us about that rifle ..

1. A new RR Remington sa receiver
2. Bolt nose bushed for the smaller firing pin
3. New bolt handle timed and tigged
4. 3 pos Winchester safety
5. An Anschutz bolt release
6. Shilen trigger
7. 3 Shilen barrels in 308, 7-08 AI, and 6.5 Creedmoor
8. English walnut stock.
I may have left out something.
Yes, it would have been cheaper starting with a custom receiver.

Butch, have the action and barrel been blued or is that gloss cerakote?

It was called Weatherby blue. We had a misunderstanding with the metal finisher. I just wanted it blued, not the Weatherby blue. Way too much money. We settled on the lesser price.

So it's an actual bluing finish? It looks very nice.

It does look good, but it will be a much used hunting rifle.

Butch I am new to the concept of a 3 position safety on a Remington. Can you explain? Is it very involved and expensive? Does it lock the bolt like a Mauser?

 

[butchlambert]

Yes sir, it works like the aftermarket ones installed on Mausers. Yeah, they are costly and some are difficult to machine and install. No real reason for them except I like them.

 

[JPB3]

Perfect Butch! Very nicely done..

Got several. Just for the heck of it, I use them every now and again

Sitting in the living room floor at age 14 with my second hand Lee Loader, purchased for 5.00 at Clonts Hardware in Knox City, I methodically knocked out fired primers, reseated new ones, poured HI-Vel #2 powder from a small scoop into the casing and seated the bullet with a hammer and seating tool. Loading my own ammo at a fraction of the cost of factory ammunition was so much fun as a young boy, that is until a primer would ignite with a loud “pop” and my mother, ironing clothes a few feet away, yelled at me to get that stuff outside!! LOL!!!
Although unnerving for my mom, the appreciation for reloading began with custom loading for that 30-30 Marlin and continues to this day, six decades later, although my infamous Lee Loader has found a place in a trunk filled with memorabilia from yesteryear.
Experimenting with loads in an attempt to wring out the best accuracy in a rifle is fun and now I’m busy at the bench once more testing loads in my new 7mm-08 Ackley Improved. Thanks again to my friend and a competitive precision shooter, Butch Lambert, for creating this beautiful rifle for me!

My wife makes me something similar. For the top bag I like to use air soft BB's.
