Nice piece
You should rock that at a match in White City.

I found this on the internet a few months ago and saved the picture. Someday I'm going to find a piece of wood like this.

Josh. That rifle pictured is an old rifle of a friend of mine from MD named Dave Apple. It is pictured at Sid Goodling's shop. The stock was built by Terry Leonard and it is AAAAA grade Koa.

Thanks for the history. It’s a beautiful gun. How do I get my hands on it?

Another Remington "old school"

Butch, I don't know whether you or Jim Carmichel have the best collection of beautiful rifles, but you certainly have a lot of eye candy. Thanks for sharing...James

I built it to shoot BPCR Silhouette up at the Josephine/Merlin Range, but that kind of fell apart. Oh well, I doubt it could outshoot any of my 6mms anyway.

They wouldn't be able to see thier targets till the smoke cleared.

here is my new toy. Just couldn't take it anymore. I have always loved beautiful wood, and I happened to have a box of new lapua brass and a set of dies for the caliber. waiting on bases to arrive is torture. 6.5x284.

These are exact replicas of 1874 Sharps as made by the Shiloh Rifle Co.

The 2nd pic is of replicas of Stevens 44 1/2's as made by CPA Corp.
I don't have the middle 2 stocks finished yet.

HOW DID YOU GET THE TREE TO DO THAT???

This is the first new rifle I wanted to put on here since I started this thread over a year ago. I'm so excited, I'm posting photos from the gunsmith...I haven't even received it yet! No corners were cut on this one in search of extreme accuracy at 1K. Alex Wheeler built it for me. BAT B drop port glued and screwed into one of his LRB McMillan stocks. It has an integral rail, integral recoil lug, roller cocking piece, melonited bolt and a Bix N Andy trigger. Two barrels in 6 BR Ackley, a Krieger and a Hawk Hill. The Kahles 10-50 will be mounted in Seekins rings and the rifle will make LG Class. I can't wait to start testing. Thanks Alex.

HOW DID YOU GET THE TREE TO DO THAT???

I don't know. I couldn't take it. The local shop I frequent way too much posted it on my first day out of town, so it was viewed online a lot. At first I thought there is no way I am paying that for a gun. I thought for sure it would be gone very quickly priced the way it was for a new gun. fast forward a week later and I am back. After looking at it daily, I came to the realization that I have a couple of guns that I am not in love with. I call, worked out a deal over the phone, drive over the next day and it was even nicer in person. I figure I have done enough dumb crap over the years, not taking this lovely piece home would rank pretty high on that list, so I took it home. I probably won't hunt with it much, but if I plan to hunt any fields it'll be there ready for use.

Good call. That is a beautiful rifle.

M1As, all double lugged. The tan was built by Art Luppino, the other 2 were built by PWS at Quantico.
Stick um is beautiful and adds character to the rifle.

Nez, I really enjoyed you and your brother's visit on Wednesday. I think we have some members that appreciate your rifles. They shoot as well as looking great.
