I live in new york state,how unfortunate !
Pmaurauder that is one of the nicest rifle looks I have seen in a while.The color and the long barrel with brake is ominous looking. What is the recoil like with the brake attached? I am curious as I want to build a bigger caliber sooner than later. Again,nice job and post your accuracy results.

This is my favorite. Savage LRPV with muzzle brake,1 in 9 twist,set in a Boyds thumbhole varminter stock. Its topped off with a Nightforce 5.5 x 22 x 50 mounted on a EGW 20 moa rail. This is the best shooting 22- 250 I've ever had and couldn't be bought at any price . I love this gun. Many PD kills at over 750 yds and I love it.
First up we have a Interarms Mark X mini mauser in 17 Remington. Shilen 25" barrel, custom stock. Rifle is bedded and trigger work performed. Action, scope base and stainless barrel have been parkarized. Scope is a Nikon Monarch 4-12. The 30 grain Kindler Gold bullet turns the 17 Remington into a 400 yard coyote rifle.
Next we have a Savage 12 20 BR. Sharp Shooter Supply 26" varmint barrel. B&C Duramax Stock, trigger lightened. Single Shot adapter installed. Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24 scope. The 40 grain Berger or 39 grain Blitzking make the 20 BR good coyote medacine out to 500 yards.
Next up is a Savage 112 223. Stock is bedded, trigger work performed and rifle is on it's second factory barrel. The scope is a favorite of mine, a Simmons V-Tac 4.5-14 with a range finding reticle that is also in the first focal plane. For long range work the 1-9 twist barrel loves the 75 grain Amax and Varget.
For those times when you need a semi-auto we have the Ruger Mini-14 Target. Rifle has a Hogue stock and barrel tuner. I have a 20 and 5 round magazines. Scope is a Sightron 4.5-14. Rifle loves the 75 Amax.
Savage 112 FV-S 220 Swift. Rifle is stock with the exception of bedding, stock painting, re-crowning and trigger work. Scope is a Nikon Buckmaster 6-18. Rifle is hard on coytoes out to 500 yards.
Moving up to 6mm caliber we have a Ruger VT in 243. Rifle has a new crown and has been beeded and trigger work on the two stage. Scope is a Simmons 44 Mag 6.5-20. 105 Amax is top pick for long range work.
Next we have a Interarms Mark X in 25.06 AI. Douglas barrel 25" in custom Maple stock that is bedded and trigger work performed. Scope is a Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9. 87 Grain TNT when you do not want hides or 115 ballistic tip for keeping hides and long range work.
Last we have a Remington 700 in 6.5 ICBM (6.5 STW 35 degree shoulder). Action is trued, saco extractor installed and bolt bushed. Badger 20 MOA base and custom bolt knob. H&S stock that is pillar and glass bedded. 28" K&P barrel that is heavy and fluted w/brake. Single shot adapter glued in and trigger lightened. Scope is a Nikon Monarch 6.5-20. For long range work 100 Ballistic tips at 4K, 120's at 3700 or 142's at 3500.

Here is the gun I built that killed the prairie dog pup at 1071 yards last week (described in another post) with my Schmidt & Bender PMII on top (I used it for load development). The inset is the unfinished stock I started with. I had to remove a lot of wood in the action area to finish it for the BAT MB action.

Those pictures make me thirst for some reason......
The thumb hole stock with the Hall is a Lee Six bench rest stock. Kelbly built a 6br years ago on the same stock when Lee Six was in business. Great stock and works well in the bags. He also made 1 just like it but with a rounded foerend. I believe the last time i picked up a rifle at Kelblys about 2 years ago he has the molds for his stocks.
