The drool is welling up in my mouth after looking at this whole thread.

Here is a Savage 6mmbr I built last year to kill a few deer with. Broughton barrel,Leupold 3.5x14x50 VX7, sitting in one of my handmade stocks.

 

[K0na_stinky]

Here is my Savage model 12 LRPV chambered in .204 ruger. Nothing really special but it shoots very well.
Vortex Viper 6.5-20x50 scope. Low Burris Xtreme Tactical Rings (1/4") and a Ken Farrel 20moa base.

I'm game. Here's two of them.

Top one is based on a 40X short action. It's been my friend since I put it together in the late 60's. Then it was 222 Rem Mag. After that it was 22-250. Now it's 22-250 Ackley Improved with a Broughton 8 twist barrel. Shoots 77 gr Bergers quite well.

That old Fajen stock was something I cleaned up when a customer at Braverman Arms in Wilkensburg, Pa. rejected it because of a knot. Been my favorite reject for literally thousands of woodchucks and my only good day prairie dog hunting.

Below that is another 700 action in Sendaro form. Jim Peightel, Earnst Pa. re-throated the 25-06, chryo'd the barrel, tuned the action, mounted the Holland brake and I glassed over the bedding block.

When I lived in Pennsylvania, we called it "The Collector". Surely you can figure out why those home-made moly 115 Nosler Ballistic Tips were feared by groundhogs.

Rifle1: That is a very nice rifle! I always like to see the older varmint rigs with Unertl scopes on them! Kinda makes me feel like I was born 30 yrs. too late.

My LR Rat/Chuck rifle: Holland-built V-Block M700 blueprinted action, Pac-Nor SS Super Match 24" fluted bbl in .243 Ackley w/Holland Quick Discharge Brake, McMillan Winchester Marksman stock, Jewell HVR trigger w/Leupold 6.5-20X.

Shooting 70gr Nosler BT's at 3,800 fps, it's pure death on Mr. Chuck.

Aaron, thanks for the kind words. That particular pic was taken in E. OR during a rat and chuck shoot. We also shoot the Klamath basin and N. CA for both chucks and rats. It appears you recognize good rat country!

Here's another of my LR rigs, custom M700, Pac-Nor SS Super Match 11 twist 3-groove w/custom chamber in 204 Ruger Match, Jewell HVR, H-S Precision stock, Lupy 6.5-20X LR M1:

Rick,

Do you remember what taper that is on your PacNor .204 barrel?????


Thanks,

Phil.

Rick, Do you remember what taper that is on your PacNor .204 barrel?????
Thanks,Phil.

Phil, I had PN duplicate my original Remington Varmint barrel contour so no stock mods would be necessary on the H-S stock. It was a slight upcharge, but worth it to avoid dinking about with the stock barrel channel on the synthetic stock.....at least to me. HTH

 

[Phil]

Excellent...

Thanks for the reply.

Phil.

home is..."the way the crow flies" bout 30 miles south of K-falls. I do all my shooting in nor cal on several family friend's ranches..I do more waterfowl hunting up in oregon...I would like to shoot rats in oregon just dont know any ranchers up that way, I know as long as you dont shoot cows or wheel lines, they are more than happy to let you shoot out there.

Heres some of mine, All savages.
6BR/shilen SM 8 twist/PTG bolt/NF NXS/mcillan A4.

this one has been parted out, 308/shilen 32'' SM//mcree stock/varix lll
