Palma Rifle Build

[Jonathan Zimmerman]

It’s been a while since I’ve shot Palma, 2015 at Camp Perry actually. Decided to put one together and get back after it. The chassis was made by Kevan Hoffarth (Yellow Jacket Rifles). Stiller Predator, Brux 1-11” at 30”, 95 Palma reamer, Jewell, and Warner. I machine my own barrels when I have time in the basement. In the next week I’m going to remake the cheek piece based on rear sight height, and adapt one of my old hand stops.

The MARS in combination with a floating reamer holder is golden. See you on the firing line!

You're in a good area for matches. There is a dedicated group there in Ohio.

I agree completely, and am very fortunate. Back when I was shooting, ORPA and Malvern were both very active. Sounds like ORPA is picking up steam again and will have some matches at CP this year.

I can take a few pictures and send them to you. The last time I called Yellow Jacket, it sounded like he is no longer making the chassis (or any from what I understand). What specifically are you after?
