baldie Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Finished this beast this week. Its a Valhalla action, Right bolt , left port with a candy twist bolt, ball handle, cammed bolt lugs etc. It has an integral recoil lug. The rail is 20 MOA and scalloped to match the action exactly. Sat on stainless dowels and now fitted with stainless torx screws as standard. The barrel is a border cut rifled parallel, and is chambered in .284 Win. Finished at 32" and fitted with an invisible thread cap and also my pepper pot brake as shown here. Jewel trigger and ADL guard. The stock is a McMillan A5 and is pillar and devcon bedded. The barrelled action is fully polished. Onto the paint. This is Tangerine candy apple over a silver marble, over a black base coat and half a dozen coats of 2 pack lacquer on top. A big, heavy gun.

Jagged 77 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Very nice Dave, that stock would nicely match my hair colouring! You didn't build it for Scotch Egg did you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pb86 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Looks fantastic! May I ask why a RH bolt but LH port? Have never seen one like that before, but that said I am fairly new to the Fullbore world so on a steep learning curve! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Right bolt , left port is easier to load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alycidon Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 The owner will want a very long cabinet for that. Most standard ones with lock box can take up to about 27 inch barrels A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
