Tubs Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 wow that is stunning, so how much would a rifle like this cost to be made and is that a 24" barrel?,great job and finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Nice to see some "after delivery" images from the owner The rifle appears to shoot,,,,,, Upper left hand target is three shots I am told,,,,,(adequate I think),,,,,,, the right hand are zeroing shots for night vision Doesn't get much better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 A similar specced Tikka 595 would be in the region of sub 2k Two things that would really annoy me if I received that rifle after paying that sort of money. 1. The bolt body looks really tatty and could do with a polish. 2. The safety catch hasn't been painted. I would much rather have these sorted than the action trued which I would be surprised if it improved anything really and neither would cost more than £20. I dont want to appear like Im having a go at you Ronin but I dont understand why would you not do this as standard? You seem like a guy who takes pride in his work. Its a nice looking rifle but those small points would really spoil it for me, please see this as constructive criticism and take it in the spirit it is intended Then again, maybe Im just too fussy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehole Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Nice very nice,,,,but down to its new owner I guess but I would not not want to crane my neck up that high to look down the scope?,,,custom rifle .factory feel,,,,,??,,,,,,O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Re-Pete Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 Surely it depends on what the customers priorities are............................you can spend a kings ransom on bling, but it won't tighten the groups. If you're going to actually shoot it, as opposed to setting it up on the front room floor from time to time, it WILL get dirty, wet, dented and scratched, and eventually wear out.............

Ronin Posted July 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Fair comments Putting things into perspective Stock - circa 500 / 600 Mod - circa 250 Donor rifle - circa 350 / 450 - guessing Barrel - circa 350 (its fluted) The basic componants add up before any coating, machining, proof is added on. The bolt body - yes it possibly could have been polished - the rifles application is foxing, shiny would be bad,,,,I understand the end user is having it coated with teflon or similar and its something we didnt discuss at the time finishing was considered, plus as a moving / wearable part - cerakote would wear off and it would look pants (in my opinion) Safety - a part that will wear regardless of what finish is applied, though its something I will consider offering in the future. Im perfectly happy with how the rifles turned out and shoots, its a killing tool at the end of the day, not a "range or cabinet queen" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5 shooter Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Very nice, the rifles results clearly speak for Andys work, everything else is just superficial when its going to be a workhorse. practical and affordable custom foxing rifle which is more accurate than whats needed.

rsc1960 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 nice work Ronan, nice to see a t3 done to this standard, running a 595 in the same calibre with a 1:9 24" tube, and it's just the must nuts, wish I had his glass on mine bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skany Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Hey Guys It is my rifle as you could possibly guess :-) OK Few points have been raised ref bolt scope height etc. Big Al Regarding the bolt1 being a S/H action some tarnishing was to be expected & not ideal, but myself & Andy(I think u forgot as it was so long ago lol) talked about fluting & painting when it was commissioned, Due to the paint coatings wear potential & me not being sure if i wanted it fluted or not it was left as is for me to decide (polishing didn't seem like the best move due to reduction in material ) Since receiving the rifle I inquired about other coatings & I will get it done at some point no doubt but not painted & something with inherent lubricating properties (and may yet flute) OneHole You haven't seen the state of my neck it wont go down any lower:-P Nah rifle is for a dedicated Night sight so the Zeiss was bunged on "as is" to get some rnds down the tube & find out what bullet to go for! surprised no one mentioned the rail is fitted backwards! Andy Yeah it was 3 rounds top left but probably luck as I cant shoot for shite generally :-P but seriously even the shoot/clean groups were not bad & the rifle is going to be lethal once I've got the lighter trigger spring fitted & decided on the go to bullet! Think I sent you the picture of the first 14nds out of the rifle if you want to post(disclaimer !it was windy/sun was in eyes/trigger was to heavy/cow looked at me funny etc etc) Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
