new baby

[bullzeye]

Well I've gone and done it now. I had to take a photo of the new baby. The "little one" is a Winchester .300 magnum. The little bit larger one is a McMillan .50 cal repeater action. The barrel is on the way from Montana and the stock will be finished in a few weeks. Holy cow this thing is BIG
More to come as the baby grows..........

Wow, that's awesome! Is your barrel a Lilja from MT?

 

[Hanzo581]

hunting elephants?

 

[bullzeye]

Yes it is a Lilja. Two inch diameter at the breach, 38 inches in length.
No on the elephants- only used for defense against paper at 1000 yds.

 

[Hanzo581]

you can never be too careful with those paper targets, make sure you give them a double tap to make sure they stay down

have fun with that monster, how much will the total build cost be when you are done?

That 1000yd paper... it can charge if it's wounded...

All rifles should be fed a "High Fiber Diet" on a regular basis, keeps 'em regular ya know!

mustager - I don't think anything is 'wounded' with an 800 grain bullet!

As for build cost, slightly more than what I would like to tell the wife

 

[mustanger98]

Yeah, especially since a near miss will still rip your arm off... I guess that means the paper will probably be shredded by the force of the bullet passing by.

Usually there are nice half inch holes. Unless some joker shows up with incendiaries
I have heard the fearsome 1000 yd paper monster is a little nervous when someone shows up on the line with a 42 pound rifle...
Hopefully the stock will be finished before Xmas. I would like to get everything assembled and tested by late spring. Still waiting on a muzzle brake as well.
