Another (bad?) idea....

I’ve given away most of my unmounted scopes but I’ll have another look-see this week. Could always be a 1-4x or 2-7x hiding in the mess. Progress looks great, can’t wait to see those barrels lined up!
That would be sweet! And If you do find one, At least let me pay for that!..... Also..... if I give you money, will you buy me more snack sticks!!!:rofl:
 
I see SPS has some 150 270cal nosler accubonds for $28 something for 50 that would be nice out of the wby. They have some 140 7mm partitions for the same price i My have to grab some.

my buddy picked up a ruger 458 wm ts m77 last week, he fliped and made twice what he payed. But he got a big coffee can full of 458wm brass, think it was new but don't remember. I'll ask and see if he still has it, maybe I can get cheap

I have their 1-4 ffp, friggin awesome!
Eta their advertised warranty sounds nice too!(I haven't had to use it yet).
that's a good looking optic!
The eye relief is a little short for the .458 tho I think. My GPO had a 3.5-3.75 eye relief and it would touch me almost every shot when used on my .375

Im still trying to get a bolt action .350 legend, and that 1-6 or the 1-8s would be a pretty slick addition to that sort of rifle....be interesting to see if they release a sfp of their 4-14s too.
 
Barrels are in!
Reamers for rhe .264 and .458 are on the way....
I did find that the .458s heavh varmint profile is too wide for the factory stock....tho im making it work since i wanna shoot it lol. Ill get a boyds of some sort on order shortly.

Gonna probably blast and coat them in the next day or two.

Same as the longs, the factory stocks were a heavier blend, but otherwise the same.


The case....needs work lol

that will be perfect, what roadie you snatch it from lol.

I think for the 458 I would get the minimum removed from the forend then full length bed the barrel expect the barrel shank since there all probably different sizes.
 
My buddy Ed lol, it was behind his couch....
It needs new latches, and I need to put in new foam as well as remove some rust from the metal fittings, but other wise its not bad.

its pretty huge is the only real draw back. Ive stuck 5 rifles in that case for a range trip
 
Don't know if you can get foam local, maybe 1/2 top and bottom maybe use them foam floor tiles there cheap and some standard Polyurethane ( same stuff pool noodles are) in the middle. They used to have bunk bed mattress, they are foam and are normally 4" thick
 
There are some fabric stores that sell foam for making futons, cushions and stuff like that. Ill go check them out, but push comes to shove, ill just order some. I'd like to do internal locks also, which will take some research
 
That could be made to work pretty easy I think.

The conversation about Building custom cases got going again over in accessories, and that's given me some ideas as well.

Something else I thought about after looking at that big ol 458 barrel....I might be able to use an lpa shotgun banded front sight and a peep on the pic rail.....id have to have it remove able tho as I doubt I'd get it under the scopes.
