Nice, you’d be hard pressed to find a better bush gun. Is it one of the new Miroku made Winchesters?

Very nice, never seen one of the new Winchester 94 made since they started up production before, I don't think anyones brought any into the country. I note that none of them have barrel bands now, which will probably help with accuracy in general.
how long is the barrel on that?
It's a carbine so 20", I am not very familiar with Winchester levers, but it sure carries nice, and balances in the had very well,
I was hoping to find a takedown version, but no 3030 around,
Carson, I am looking at a colt lightning or replica, you ever used one, ?
cowboy action is starting mid year, up at my local gun club. Planning on giving it a go.
This was my first centerfire rifle. (still have it)
Miroku M-bolt in .243. It has a leupold vx1 2-7 which I am quite fond of. Very well made gun and good scope for the money (plus its light weight) , IMO :)

@ChrisW never new that Moroni made rifles. Nice.
Bloody spellcheck Miroku not fecken Moroni as if the computer knows better:ORLY:
Agree, but not sure where the opposite would apply - I guess miroku just wanted some profile somehwere. They make good stuff regardless. Browning have outsourced production since the dark ages of course, FN and miroku bing the obvious ones, but they’ve used smaller manufacturers as well - bettinsoli for one.

Yep the Miroku is pretty much a "japanese browning". Much the same as the A-bolt with a few subtle differences. Different machining on the bolt for example. Its said that they were allowed to make a number of units under their own brand. I cant say if its true or not but the word is they were made a bit nicer as Miroku was using their own brand name which makes some very high end gear as opposed to making them for someone else. Its factory glass bedded and has a gold plated trigger.
I always wondered with those - is it a Browning design made under licence by Miroku, or was it a Miroku design that Browning bought the rights to put their own name on?
270 win Mauser '98 custom built on a 1909 Argentinean action. 7 pounds, 24" barrel.
Very nice timber!
Miroku got the marketing rights for the browning pattern shotguns they made for Australia and perhaps NZ? You could only buy Miroku here until grey imports started a few years back. The rifles never came to Aust, perhaps NZ only.

:) She's my one and only rifle - so she'll be getting used hard!!
Must be a reasonably lightweight barrel to be 7pd with 24 inch length? Some lovely custom features, who put it together?
A classic Rigby style Mauser sporter - very nice!
My eyes have got a little bit wet. Magnificent. Superlative.
Saw something similar in 30-06 but on a Brno action recently. Awesome piece of gear.
Who did the work @Frodo Nelson at status guns?
Thats class @Frodo Lovely piece of craftmanship
I didn't commission it myself (too broke for that).
The stock work was done by Kevin Gaskell, and the metal work by Allen Carr (sp?).
I'm going to get some Conetrol scope mounts for it. :)
I can only see one thing wrong with that rifle Frodo............
It's not mine.:)
Holy crap.... I got first dibs!
Keep dreaming guys. :D :)
Got a set of conetrol bases and rings here if you want them
For those of us less fortunate than Frodo here is my Sako A1 .222

Bedding by Kevin Gaskill who also fitted the original Sako butt pad.
@Frodo are you actually only 22? Looking at your past and present rifles you are a very worldly young man if so!
Yeah I'm 22. But I make sacrifices in other areas to afford good hunting gear - I'm not wealthy by any means. Hunting /shooting is a huge passion of mine, and I appreciate fine craftsmanship in firearms. Each to their own though. :)
@Pauli, early Sakos are mint. Nice rifle!
Double post.
And here is my 7mm08 (first posted in the Gun Porn thread, p149 #2222). Forum member @Bronson provided the Sako AII action, @Danny the Kahles scope, the barrel was purchased off TM, Allen Carr reblued the action and barrel, Arthur Cleland put it together, Kevin Gaskill glass bedded it and added the Sako butt pad, the L579 stock, which is a bit of a Plain Jane, I swapped for an AI stock and I installed a Timney Sako trigger. It wears a DPT suppressor.

It spits out 162gr HDY ELD-M really fast (I actually don't know how fast, I don't have access to a chronograph). Lets in lots of air into the boiler room of a red.
Christmas '17/New Year '18 holiday project
Sadly, my youngest brother, a brickie who worked hard all his working life, suffered a couple of serious cardiac events in the previous 24 months and is now incapable of walking bush edges and gullies etc. Shifting from the North Shore to the Waikato he asked me to dispose of his rifle and semi-auto shotgun as he didn't want to build another gun safe. He duly delivered them just before Christmas. The more I fondled the Parker Hale 25-06, the more I liked it so I took it for a test fire with the entry-level Nikko Stirling scope that adorned it. Managed a best-group of 22mm (3 shots) with 100gr Rem CL factory ammo so I bought it off him and had Kevin glass bed the action. I then set about to refurbish the stock.

Nice
nice rifle Pauli-if you don't mind me asking, what colour stain did you use or is a custom blend to suit?
Have a project that might benefit from that colour.
Nothing fancy @csmiffy just the Birchwood Casey walnut stain, 2 maybe 3 coats.
