Well as it says, I know how great the 6PPC is, I know how other actions are preferred, I know how the stock is outdated, 'BUT' this is not about building the most capable rifle for competition, as I have a Scott Built, Bat "D" with Bix and Andy trigger and an assortment of Krieger Barrels. But I know how capable this caliber, action, stock, and trigger were in it's day, as well as the barrels and triggers of that era, and most of all the gentleman that started me out in this mad world of nothing ever being good enough!
So since I stumbled on this rifle by accident, and seeing it was in less than desirable condition, and in no way in a competition chambering, the price was so low, I said what the heck,,, resurrect it! Fred Sinclair guided my thru my first benchrest rifle and since he had quit building rifles at that point, guided me to a man just starting out building hand cut stainless steel benchrest grade barrels nearby. A man I also became good friends with,,, Ron Pence.
So for starters, here is what we are starting with, pretty rough, but I assure you I will get it cleaned up to Eye Candy Standards! This was last week when I drug it home to show it some love!
