baldie Posted October 29, 2016 Report Share Posted October 29, 2016 Just finished this today. Its a Defiance Deviant action, married to a Krieger 1 in 8.5" blank. Chambered in 6.5 x 47 Lapua. Muzzle is threaded 18mm x 1 and invisible capped, it also has a 3 port brake. Paint is Ceracoat H series Armour black on all metalwork. Trigger is one of the new Cadex 2 stage triggers. This was chosen because its the only one [ to my knowledge ] that has an upper limit suited to the CSR practical rifle class of 1.5Kg, which is what its going to be used for. The floor plate is one of the excellent Stiller units, chosen because it has a large flared maxwell, and will accept the AW magazine, as well as the AICS. The action will function with the double stack mags. Then the fun started. The floor plate was the wrong angle to match the SSS A5 copy stock. It had to be machined out and bedded in, with the plate sat off the stock on Devcon. Then the latch length altered to suit. Pillars installed and full action bedding. That done, and all dry building proving it worked, I set about the stock. What should have been a one day job, turned into 5 with various problems with the stock. All were overcome, but it will be the last. Paint is the " Bengal" pattern in Duracoat with airbrushed highlights. Flowed around the devon seat for the floor plate, so it all looks like it was meant to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldie Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Do you know, I can't do right for doing wrong. When i post green, or cammo rifles, people moan. When I post "distressed" pattern rifles...people moan. This is something, for a guy who likes fancy, out of the ordinary paint jobs. remember guys....these are not my own guns....they are commissioned by customers. One-offs.... That is the true meaning of custom. one man's meat, and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the above Dave 100% A lot of my rifles aren't to everyone's tastes, but to me they are pure eye candy and that's all I care about. Now the Tiger Tiger isn't to my taste but I applaud the man who had it done, he's got balls and something very very different to the mainstream.

MrCetrizine Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I'd never own a tiger striped rifle. Leopard on the other hand, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 You lot are missing the point, it's not the daft paint job, its the creeping in of 6.5x47 into CSR and trying to win points by calibre advantage This isn't what we're about Take it to F-Class The plot has been lost!

MrCetrizine Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 How about Dalmation? Yes. I actually did a DIY paint job on the first ever rifle I owned that was supposed to be snow camo but ended up looking just like a Dalmation.

I think you and I both know that calibre has nothing to do with winning in CSR Mark. A good shot will beat everyone whether its 6.5 , .308 , or .223. Besides, nowhere in the practical class rules, does it stipulate calibre...service neither, although we all generally accept that .308 , .223 and .303 are de rigeur in service.

You're absolutely right there, but that leads on to those that think they can gain an advantage via calibre If only it was so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swarovski1 Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 The eye of the Tiger.great looking paint job.colours go well. One of my fave tracks too. Looks a bit of a beast to me. Said it before will say it again.having a scope sat on it would show it off much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
