Official Gun Pix 'Pride & Joy' Thread

[leakeyjohn]

This is my new "Pro-Mod" F-Open rifle. Being a long-time drag racer & fabricator kind of drew me in to build an aluminum chassis combo. This Competition Machine chassis from Gary Eliseo handles great and tracks like it's on rails due to it's super low center of gravity. This rifle also shoots like a perfectly tuned Pro-Mod car thanks to the gunsmithing & chambering talent of Omar Alonzo. I have recently won a mid-range 600yd match and a 2nd place 1000yd match at Bayou Rifles with this dude. This rifle is only limited by my wind call abilities, (lol).

Stock: Competition Machine F1 aluminum F-Open chassis. It's got fully adjustable length of pull, butt pad & check rest. Falcon Strike butt pad, "Penquin" Grip.
Rifle weighs-in @ 21 lbs, 14.1 oz.
Finish: "Icy-Hot" custom anodizing by Caustic Customs.
Action: Bat M. RB, LP, RE, magnum bolt, B&A Comp. trigger
Barrel: Brux 1-8.5 twist, 1.350" first 5" then straight-tapered down to 1.050" at the muzzle, 32" long. V2 Tuner. 300 Below cryo-treated. Chambered in no-turn 7-6.5 PRC, Alonzo Custom Rifles reamer.
Scope: March-X 8-80, MTR1 reticle mounted with March Superlight Titanium scope rings.
Cartridge: Lapua 6.5 PRC necked-up to 7mm. 210M primers, Berger 180 Hybrids, 53.32 grains H4350 @ 2865 fps. Jumped .033" from "touch".

I am a former pit crew on a AA altered roadster 6.5 at 235 mph getting back into shooting long story. Now have several rifles that shoot fairly well.

I'm a pistol and semi-auto rifle fan, too, but my bolts are my pride & joy!

Tikka T3x Lite Compact with Leupold VX5HD in .308 (I wasn't shooting at the blind, just Elk )


Zeroing a new Seekins in 6.5PRC w/NF 7-35 F1


The ever-elusive B&T SPR300 w/NF NX8 2.5-20 F1


B&T SPR300 prior to final optic, Vortex 3x Red Dot cuz boys just wanna have fun.


Got a few of these Mosin's from my Uncle Al. This one is Chinese Carbine version with bayonet.

One rifle I’ve really grown to love is the Ruger #1, I picked one up yesterday I thought some of you might enjoy. #1A in 275 Rigby (7x57). I have 6 #1s and I try to get decent wood on them when I pull the trigger, this rifle has a beautiful buttstock. Mounted a vintage 3-9 Leupold with A/O, I’d like to find a vintage 2.5-8x for it but this will work.

 

[leakeyjohn]

Beautiful buttstock

Very nice, I hope it's a shooter.

no one offers a semi inlet for Bat SB/SV/S actions-… so I made my own.

Wow! I always respect the guy that has the patience and the gumption to take on a project like that. You did good!

Long time lurker here. I've learned a lot over the years here but wasn't very active. That will probably change a bit. Decided to post a pic of my PRS rifle with it's second barrel.

looks great, what action?

 

[nakneker]

Picked up a Ruger Number one I’ve been after for a few years now. Probably a chambering most guys wouldn’t want, 30-30. Should be fun. They had a new Marlin 44 mag, I grabbed it too but the excitement for me is the 30-30. Mounted a vintage gloss Leupold that is starting that old purple patina that some Leupolds do, perfect for that rifle.

UPS just dropped of four rifles fresh from ODCR. Left to Right, 22-6.5PRC (brother’s), 260 AI, 22x47 and a 22-6.5PRC for me. Zack always does a great job with his fit and finish, looks great. I’ve never had Rifle that he built that hasn’t shot small, fun!

Here is an article Accurate Shooter did on this rig: Sunday Gun Day June 30 2024

 

[A j shooter]

This Roy Hunter with a multi flat bat has become my favorite.
Boy it tracks nice

 

[afret]

Got another TL3 recently to build a slow twist 6 ARC on an XLR folder since I have room for one more in my safe. I got tired of waiting for the 6 ARC barrel so I went ahead and temporarily screwed a Shilen 13 twist 6 PPC barrel onto the TL3. Anyway my new March 5-42x scope came in last Wednesday so decided to mount the scope and load up some 68 FBs with 29 grains N133 and went to the range this AM before I swap out the barrels later. Got lucky and got a nice 5 shot group at 100 yards. Maybe I should leave this barrel on. LOL (Caliper zeroed at 0.243)

Very impressive group and a nice looking rifle as well.
