Guest bronco_mudder Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Sounds like a nice rig 280AI. I'm in the process of having a 25/05 built on a Rem 700 action. Of course all the work of truing the action will be done, but I'm not to particular on the tactical knob on the bolt handle, instead I've oppted to go for a jewled handle. A 28 inch stainless Lothar Walther varmint weight barrel that when mated with the action will have a black matte finish applied to all. It will be bedded into a cinnamon laminated stock. I've choosen and already bought a 6-24 Burris signature scope for it, and will probably go with Burris signature rings. I can't wait to get it, suposed to be ready for late spring.

Guest bronco_mudder Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Re: New Rifle project Oh yeah it will also have a Tub Speed Lok firing pin, a Sako extractor, and I went with a timney trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Re: New Rifle project wow, those sound like some pretty nice guns boys! i would love to get a custom rifle made for me sometime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Re: New Rifle project Cool! Sounds like some fun projects. You are totally correct about custom or semi custom guns being more affordable if you do your homework. A Borden gun is crying for a Jewell trigger. There is no other. Jewell triggers are like custom rifles, once you get one you want more and more. Hopefully I will be doing another custom gun soon. It's been too long since my last one and I an getting the itch. My next two will be based on the .338" bullets. I have a Rem 721 that I blueprinted that is going to become a .338 RUM. It will be my long range thumper. I have a Sendaro stock waiting for the barreled action to rest in. Its got a sweet trigger from the days when they came from the factory that way. The other one will be a .338-06. It will be done on either a Rem 700 BDL action I have laying around or an Interarms Mark X action that I have laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Re: New Rifle project 280AI, I had Jeff build my .243 model Seven, back when he lived here in Indiana. Sure wish he'd of stayed here. The bolt mod is a nice option. It'll be **** for stout after he's done. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Re: New Rifle project Although I will never own one, I enjoy reading about them being built. You guys say that the price isn't as bad as you would think, are we still looking at $2-3000 at least ? I'm saying if you have no parts and are starting from scratch. I would love to shoot a custom same day !! too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Re: New Rifle project I enjoy it when the new donor arrives almost as much as when the gun is done. The anticipation, checking out, seeing what work needs to be done, the actual blueprinting and 'smithing is always fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
