    G'Day Fella's,

    Here is some images of my purpose built Long Range varminter, "Hopper Stopper".
    It is based on an old Rem 700 that has been completely trued and squared up, then had the action sleeved.
    It has a re-worked Remington 700 trigger that has been converted to a 3 lever design and breaks at 2 ounces.
    It is set up as a switch barrel rifle, so you can have a series of barrels (and bolts), that will fit the one action.

    At the time these images were taken, the only barrel I had for it, was a Maddco, #7 in .22-250AI (tight neck), with a 1-14" twist.

    Here is an image, showing it being used to hit the occasional Rodent, at a series of warrens amongst the Gum trees, at around 500 meters
    All the gunsmith work, was done by John Giles of www.pseco.com.au many years ago.

    This rifle is so accurate, if I miss what I'm aiming at, I'm not able to blame the rifle!!!

    Doh!
