Thread: Walnut and blued steel,

We could discuss mine, it's had a bit of work done eg recoil pad fitted and bedded by Jim Carlson, I have another one in mind.

30-06's slightly bigger cousins are great too, 8mm-06, 35 Whelan and 9.3x62 (a yank/kraut cross, full yank and purebred Kraut) - authoritative would be the word, now watch some bugger come along and politise that!!

Any advance on Massai with a shield and a spear.

I got a new Tikka T3x Forest in 6.5x55. Pretty piece of wood. Haven't put any oil or anything on this.

Aye, that’s very nice stock

@jakewire

Could you please post some pics of your Husky? I need some ideas.

Sure
Husqvarna 1640 manufactured 1963. In 9.3x62 Finished project.


30 06 manufactured 1957, is currently working in progress but can photo where I am with it tomorrow if you like.

Real clean looking lines on that rifle, and a very beautiful stock. I likey.

@Frodo
1957, Thirty Aught Six, Bedded and Sissy pad put on, going to clean up the stock next,would have preferred to show afterwards but never mind..

Shoots very well, sighting in at 100 meters from 25m start, walking it up.

Looks mint @jakewire. What sort of ring/base system are you running on it?

How do you find shooting a large objective scope with a stock with that much drop in it?

That stock looks pretty sweet already. My one's all dinged up, and I'm hesitant refinishing it when it'll just get banged up anyway.

Pm me if you are after more info , don't wish to clutter up a great thread.

Sighted in the irons yesterday, then rung the gong three from three at 200.
