WTB IR5050 Sporter class rifle

[Brendak]

Looking to buy a sporter for ir5050. Preferably one built by eck but may consider others.

Any preference on bolt/port configuration? I know of a few Eck sporters not being used any longer in the northeast & could see if they're willing to sell.

You may also want to consider contacting Tony K Harper or Tim Simbari for leads; both long-time IR5050 3-gun shooters.

This is a steep hill to climb. A wide ocean to cross etc etc, pick your metaphor.
I went thru this same search a while back. TKH put me onto a great rifle but I didn’t specify your gunsmith choice.
I wonder why no one puts these rifles up for sale? I can think of some reasons but most of my thoughts would be snarky.
My only suggestion is to have Jeremiah Mohr build a Sporter if you can find an action and a stock. Action may be harder than a stock to procure . Jeremiah is the only gunsmith I know of who actively builds IR Sporter’s.

The rifles I mentioned earlier in the year are available but won't be shipped.
One rbrp & a rblp Eck Turbo's.
The reason we won't ship is we adore them & they don't eat much. They're like the rock candy the Indian had on "The Outlaw Josey Wales". It ain't for eatin', its for looking at!! lol

Ha. I understand that completely. I actually found an eck sporter recently and I like it a lot. 2500xs action. Very easy on the eyes. Wish I could locate another 2500xs RBLP action.

Actions tough. Jim Peightal still makes sporter stocks…..only guy Eck used after Pippen passed away.
Jeremiah would be my choice these days…guy does first class work.
Where were you guys couple weeks back, I sold Gordons personal sporter to Ga gent who will never shoot it in matches…..,shame really, went in about 90 minutes.
