I inherited a couple old rifles today, Dad is 80, diabetic and can’t get out much anymore, today he gave me his Pre-64 lightweights, a 30-06 and a 270 with some nice wood. He’s had them forever, fanatical reloader who is slowing down. He says they will both hold MOA at 100 with three shots. Conetrol rings and fixed power Leupolds, classic bolt action set ups. I’ll give them a fresh clean tomorrow and when elk season is over I hope to play around with them some. He would enjoy seeing them back in action.

I am sure your Dad would be very happy to see the rifles in the field again! Beautiful rifles.

Very nice, he took great care of them.

Awesome rifles & I'm glad to see the father-to-son tradition is still important to generational hunters & shooters!

 

[nakneker]

Very nice, he took great care of them.

He’s one of those guys that keeps his rifles oiled, he’s knives oiled, his leather boots oiled. He’s old school that way.

Part of the fun of a custom build if your the customer is the anticipation. I have a couple rifles being completed by Zack with Old Dominion. I’m currently in Hawaii on work and exchanged a few texts and pics last night.

Orange one is a 7PRC built on a Tikka, McSwirly game hunter stock, HH Barrel. The other two are 6x47s, one for me and one for a good friend. Identical rifles but different color patterns. Bat actions, Manners LRH stocks, HH barrels. Fun. The Dies and components are waiting at home, should get to play with these over the holiday.

If they shoot like the other rifles he’s built it’ll be all smiles and I’m sure they will. Very enjoyable guy to do a build with, we’re spoiled with the number of top tier gunsmiths on this forum!

I'm new here, but I've been active elsewhere for ages...

Lots of good info here; and it's great to grow my knowledge on all kinds of stuff I never knew about ELR.

Thank you, my Son made it. It’s walnut and epoxy.. He's made three for me and my wife, he has a knack for it.

I've been looking just at the rifles only, so I had to scroll back a page of posts to find nakneker's table pic. I agree, the table looks like a work of art! Wish I had the kind of talent to make one.

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.
