baldie Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Finished this one this week. A very good customer of mine who has a penchant for Krytpec. This is a Valkyrie Odin action, and is fitted with a 0 moa rail and tactical bolt knob. The barrel is a Benchmark 1 in 8" finished at 24" and chambered in 6.5 x 47 lap , Invisible cap covering an 18mm x 1 thread. The trigger is a jewel , and the whole barrelled action is painted in macmillan tan Ceracoat. It also has a 3rd eye muzzle mounted moderator. The stock is the now rare Sentinel from mcMillan Bros. KWM floorplate [ which are lovely ] The stock's paintwork is my take on Kryptec Highlander. I've used 8 different colours in Duracoat. This in my opinion, is still the best paint for stocks as it will cure chemically and can be speeded up with a very low bake. The paint mixes beautifully and can be touched up if damaged....all things Ceracoat cannot. It goes on thicker and is more flexible. A case of the right media in the right place. Excuse the photography, it was taken indoors under sodium lights. I took a couple outside when the rain had stopped, and these show the colours better. The scope is one of the new IOR,s a 4-28 model ? It has a 40mm tube and is sat in a beautiful Spuhr mount specially made for it. I love these mounts and own three myself. The last word in quality.

terryh Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Dave, I must say that rifle has come out rather splendid? That pattern took a bit of masking me thinks? Barrel length looks about right, balanced. What profile and all up weight (if known) please? T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 5 hours masking alone Terry. That pattern really is a swine to do. You have to sit and study what layer goes where, and it ALWAYS throws up some surprises when de-masked. Weight wise....its bloody heavy....Third testicle job. The barrel started life as a 32" palma.

johnnyb0_1 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Dave, that looks the dogs nads. The new owner will be proud of that one. I've never seen the Sentenel stock before, what's the function of the trigger shaped thing behind the trigger guard? Keep them rolling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz6br Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Did you wait for it to stop raining so the paint didn't wash off ☺️ Lol Nice work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I've never seen the Sentenel stock before, what's the function of the trigger shaped thing behind the trigger guard? Trick of the light/camera angle, just the cut out in the 'plastic' part of the stock for the trigger guard. The Sentinal stock is the creation of a gunsmith in the US called Terry Cross, unfortunately getting hold of them is a problem due to both delivery from McM to Terry and Terry sorting out the other parts, assembly etc. As he is a one man band who's main line of work is building LEO and other similar organisations rifles then training their teams after delivery. Here's a link to his web site FYI: http://kmwlrs.com/Homepage I love them, personally not found a better stock. Brads Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkjack Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Beautiful bit of kit!!! I do like the ergonomics of the sentinel just needs a uk manufacture to make a carbon fibre version wich fits a multitude of actions and that would be my dream stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
