Ruger 77/22 Magnum, had it done in '96. Walther 10/22 long rifle barrel (tighter bore), had a reamer cut to match specs. Action and barrel have been threaded, don't think this was really necessary but it's what I wanted at the time. . This was in '96 and since then I couldn't even estimate how many varmints have succumbed to that silver box Win JHP. Hits much harder than 22lr on everything and is very nicely accurate.

Not original so no collectors value but she's a shooter! 200-18x and a good 5 shot group on the psl target with norma tac
Remington 37 that has a barrel put on from Shenandoah Guns Inc. The funny thing is the barrel was on something else, flipped completely over to be fitted to the 37 action and the original sight mount holes were never filled in!
This firearm is from the personal collection and estate of Lieutenant Colonel Francis Conway.
Answering the call to duty in World War II, he joined the US Army the day after Pearl Harbor and served in the Small Arms Repair Section, C Company, 130th Maintenance Battalion, 8th Armored Division.
He served in that capacity throughout World War II.
He stayed in England, took part of the "Battle of the Bulge" through Normandy, France, Alsace, Belgium, Germany, and Czechoslovakia until the division was deactivated in November 1945.
After World War II he had tours with the missile and ordnance systems in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Redstone Arsenal, and White Sands Proving Ground.
As a Master Sergeant, he joined the Army Rifle and Pistol Team in 1953.
In 1957, he was commissioned as a Captain in the Ordnance Corps by the Army Chief of Staff, and served as Commander, US Army Europe Marksmanship Unit from 1963-1966 and Ordnance Officer, US Army Marksmanship Unit from 1966-1970.
Conway was the "father" of the XM-21 military sniper rifle and contributed to several technical shooting publications.
His victories include the Coast Guard Cup, the Infantry Center Rifle Championships, the Third Army Championships, the Member Trophy, the Marine Corps Cup, and twice he won the Wimbledon Cup in 1955 and 1956. Along the way, he set several national and international shooting records.

Saw these old rifles and I just can’t help myself. I have a “NEW” old rifle. I had John Taylor out in Idaho install a barrel liner, chamber to 17 HM2 and tune trigger to about 2 lbs. I then installed a Montana Vintage Arms scope. This is now my favorite squirrel rifle.

After shooting my 223 Ackley bolt gun at our monthly PRS match, I decided to relax and spend some time with my Vudoo single shot on the 200 meter range.
I put a new Rodzilla top on my SEB NEO rest and wanted to just get some rounds across it to see how I am going to like it.
It tracks absolutely incredible. Vey happy with it so far. Hitting coffee can sized targets at 220 yards was pretty easy.
Vudoo SS, right bolt, left port. Shilen Ratchet, 16 twist, MTU contour. Bix and Andy 2 ounce trigger, McM stock, S&B 5-25 scope.
I have another stock for it, a Cerrus F-Class wood stock with CF stringers. But it will be a while before the stock doc is done with it. Time will tell which stock I will prefer more.
The only other change will be 7/8-24 muzzle threading for a Thunderbeast Ultra 5 suppressor and an ATS tuner. Maybe a Flavio trigger.

New member here from NC. Just learning to shoot benchrest style. CZ457 VPT 16.5" barrel with Meuller 8-32 X 44 scope. Just put in a Timney trigger. (awesome addition). This was my best ARA practice target so far. Also shot my personal best 5 shot group of .385" @ 50 yds. Center X and Eley Match seems to be the best ammo for it. Having lots of fun with this set up.
