308 Winchester "Psuedo Palma"

[LongRiflesinc]

Here's the next Palma-ish type gun for us. This proud owner hails from Florida and is looking for a 600 yard "plinker" that he and his son can enjoy. He really liked the blue rifle on our home page so were basically building a carbon copy to it.

Here's the list:

Nesika Model K receiver 1.350" single shot (Actually, not really. It's an 1.350" Model S. Same as a "K" but with a .750" diameter bolt body. Nesika was out of .700's at the time so I told them this would be an ok alternative) The bigger bolt won't hurt anything. Maybe someday down the road he'll decide to bump the gun up to a WSSM or something. This'll make life easier as it'll only require a different bolt face rather than a whole new action.

Options are nice to have. . .

Brux 30 cal 13ROT medium palma barrel
Robertson Composite H/H prone
Annie 5022 two stage trigger
Our carrier/adapter
Our cheek piece hardware
McMillan buttplate assy
Sunny Hill SS guard bow
Our scutcheon
MIL-Spec 1913 base
NF Ultralite rings
NF "Hubble Telescope" optics
Our Annie/Freeland accy rail
Paint will be 2001 Suzuki GSX-R blue (perty!)
Lots of clear coat!


So it begins! Here's Garrett fitting up the barrel:

That looks like a top notch list of components. I'm looking forward to the build pictures.

Are you still able to get Robertson stocks? I had heard they went out of business.
