baldie Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Just finished this one this week. Something a little bit different. Its a single shot .233 Valkyrie. Action is tight toleranced , and fitted with a .20 moa rail. The barrel is a border cut rifled one, in remington varmint profile. Bead blasted to match the action. Screwcut M14 x 1 and an invisible thread cap. Fitted with a jewell trigger, and pillar and fully devcon bedded into the quite dark McMillan A5 you see here.

baldie Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Very nice. Dave, what are the tolerances on your 'tight tolerance' action? Can be specced by the customer. Usually 0.0015" to 0.002" on the bolt clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Reaper Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Now that is really nice! The dark stock contrasts, with the light color blending it to the action. Good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deeksofdoom Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Your rifles are absolutely beautiful... But i was just wondering why a single shot, is it a target rifle or will it be used on foxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Boy Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 It will be used for both, personally I like single shot rifles and since it was custom built for me that's what I wanted. In my opinion a single shot is all that is necessary for foxes as personally I don't take difficult shots under the lamp. If you miss, all you do is educate the fox and generally speaking you won't get a chance for a second shot anyway, magazine or not. If you hit the fox somewhere sensible with a 55 grn BT going quick the fox isn't going anywhere in a hurry and if a follow up is needed to finish it off (unlikely) you'd have plenty of time to reload, it's not that much slower than a mag in any case.

All the best Rich I never thought of that before, your dead right, the amount of fiddling about you do with loading the mag chambering the round, unloading the round, putting it back into the mag. A single shot actually makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
