Greg,
Those are beautiful. What calibers and stocks are you going to use? Who are you going to get to do the work?
I have an 8.5 BAT that should be here in a couple of weeks and 3 Broughton bbls that I can't wait to chamber. I ordered a red white and blue flame McMillan MBR,it is still two months out). It is going to be my new F-Class rig. When everything gets here, I'm going to send it all to Sid Goodling to do the work. I hope to be shooting it by the first of March.

Chuck,
I haven't decided on a gunsmith yet but these are going to be something special. As you can see, both are Grizzly II's with a high polish finish. One is a repeater and one is a single shot. Both have 308/BR boltfaces and both are RBLP. The repeater has an ejector while the single shot does not.
My intention is to build a matching pair of BR competition guns. The single will be a conventional LV gun in 6PPC while the repeater will be a 30BR built to meet Australian Hunter Class rules which are a bit different to the US version,importantly, no minimum case capacity hence the 30BR).
I'm living/working in the US but returning home to Australia at the end of '06 so it's a bit of a buying frenzy here in the land freedom at the moment. Fun times ahead!

I just sent off my Borden TPE in trade for a Viper Drop port in a McMillan EDGE stock to Shooters Corner. I am also building a HBR gun in 30-47 in a McMillan stock with a 220 Swift AI switch barrel for doggin. PacNor on the 30-47 and Kreiger on the 220 AI. Cut rifling lasts longer than button, I am told.

Hi Chuck,
Its a BAT Model B, 1.470" round diameter with a flat bottom, right bolt, right port. It beds very well. Yes, you are correct on the ring/base combo. Its a single integrated piece, and the pair of rigns are machine together at the same time. They still should be lapped, but very little work is needed.
Happy New Year!
