Predator......

[baldie]

Todays rifle is somewhat of a themed gun.

 

The customer had an idea of basing the gun on the film, with relevant camo etc.

 

I started with a short action predator. This was fitted with a Sassen 1 in 8.5 twist , heavy straight taper blank at 24" and chambered in 6.5 x 47 lapua.

 

 

Threaded 18mm x 1 and invisible capped with an 11 degree target crown.

 

 

It also has a bespoke , One less Charlie stainless moderator too.

 

 

All metalwork was then Ceracoated in H series Coyote Tan.

 

 

 

The Stock is a McMillan A5 and it has a third eye floor plate, machined in, pillared, and devon bedded all the way through. This locks the action and the floor plate together [not permanently ] and gives a rock solid action/magazine area.

 

Trigger is a Timney Calvin Elite unit.

 

 

The paint is half a dozen shades of Duracoat, a couple of Predator head logo,s ...all sealed with satin lacquer.

 

 

 

 

 

A very effective camouflage pattern....especially in Autumn.

Dave, this is truly outstanding work.

 

I can not wait to pick this up and start load development on it.

I just like to add that it also shoots like a dream, a very accurate piece of kit.

I have the same stock on a Remington and wouldn't change it for anything else.
