Thread: Walnut and blued steel,

Sorry about the shacky pic it was taken the day after we won the cup so was a weeeee hungover. You can't see but it's got set triggers which are mint to shot with get the cross hairs in the right spot and you just touch off your shot..

What style are you going for with the blank? Are you going to shape it?

Prince of Wales gripe with a rem 700 for end. Buffalo horn caps. Limbe saver.
I've had a good look around and tried loads to see what looks and feels right.
Not worried about the weight to much.
I'd rather that it shoots straight and comes up to the shoulder the same every time.
Not to sure about a Monty Carlo check peace as the old cf has a roll over one that to me just looks plane ugly.
Sending it to be templates then will do all the finishing myself.

Sounds like a good plan. Yeah Monte's are definitely out of favour these days. Who's doing the the inletting for you?

Some guy down near Bath that has a copy jig

There is some beautiful stuff in this thread.

What I like most is a wood and blue rifle that has been around a bit. Battle-scarred is good. Abused is bad. So long as the mechanics are well looked after and the stock oiled occasionally its all good.

I like "used" wood and blue rifles most of all.

This is a rifle I have great affinity for. A micro xbolt. .243. Has never let me down. Done a few miles. Blue worn. Stock dented. Love it.



Wood and blue knocks the pants off plastic and stainless (unless its raining) .

BSA Royal (Hunter) 7x57 with a custom stock. Seen a bit of work but still a joy to bring to the shoulder.

Excuse the crappy pix, walnut does look better in the flesh.

FML just bought a ZKK 600 for probably too much. Will post when I get it. I've had a bit of a revelation that new guns are shit.
