Red Gun - .243AI, 26-1/2" PacNor 13Twist, .273"NK, 0 Freebore. Burris Signature 8-32. Butt and forend are weighted, 17-1/4#. The stock was from a benchrest shooter who kind of tore both sides up removing the glue-in action. I rebuilt it with JB weld, works fine. Single shot block. That was around '90, got around to putting something into it about '93. I'm not concerned with how it looks and never painted it.

Hows the tenacity treating you so far? Still haven’t shot mine....
Buttered glass, impressive for not having any coatings or metal treatments.

The Grey Gun - .243AI, 24-1/2"Pacnor 9"twist, same .273"NK, 0 Freebore. McMillan Sako Varmint pattern stock. Not light at 12-1/4# but easier to handle than that red one, also more muzzle jump. Burris Signature 6-24. I do a gun and like it, have another one made only setup differently. This was done a couple years after the red one, mid 90's.

good to hear. Mine is cerakoted receiver with nitrided bolt. This damn quarantine crap is getting old.
I dig it!!
Ahhhhhh my favorite!! A Remington chambered in 06' almost finished with mine getting overhauled also in a McMillan edge fill.
Mine still has the factory tube and with the way it shoots I’m not changing anything. 180 grain Partions, Accubonds, and even 185 Berger LRBT always shoot sub MOA. Remington used to build a fine rifle
Right!!
I should, coulda, woulda left mine alone, but noooooo I had to screw with it! Lol
It's going to get throat reamed and ceracoat on the barrel. Krieger 1n11 26".
one of many, but the recent favorite.

Very nice , looks like a great rig for the woods . I can no longer use iron sights but I sure do like the looks of them on a hunting rifle.one of many, but the recent favorite.

When you're left handed, you don't 'build' anything. You take what you can get, and you say 'thank you'.
Savage Model 10 in 223. No mods. I dig the accu-trigger. 1-9 twist and it gets along really well with little 40gr V-max bullets. And thank you Savage, I also have a left handed 22lr bolt...and a left handed 17hmr bolt.

First 2 groups out of this one at a 1k yds. Not bad for a #1 contour in a sub 5lb rifle. Im pretty impressed with that 3 groove Lilja.
Tang safety M77 ultralight '06.
Had it about a week and #4 son claimed it. Took a cpl deer in some pretty nasty hunting conditions,camping and hiking in.He's moved into some preemo black bear country and is getting a cheap 308 to bang around. He kept the straight 6 scope.
I've been cleaning it up a bit,and snagged a heckuva nice,thin reticle 5 star Redfield,
1-4X20. Shoots Lee 309-150F backed up with H4895 into bottle caps @50 yds with uncanny frequency. Lite,easy on the shoulder walk around gun.
