baldie Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Finally got a barrelled action back from proof after nearly two months. It was a simple rebarrell job for a friend with a lick of paint. He wanted the original tikka heavy profile, which the lads at Sassen made a great job of. Its a 6.5 x .284 and its making a real resurgence in my neck of the woods....the reamer never seems to be off the lathe at the moment. Very popular with the deer fella's. Usual thread and cap for the mod....not a lot to say about it really apart from its a lot lighter than it looks. All metalwork was done in Armour black ceracoat.

Offroad Gary Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Dave, are the rings painted too or just blued? Nice looking tool (the rifle i mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarovski1 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Its a mcmillan stock pillar bedded by a well known smith but Its a name I seem to have a mental block on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldie Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 The rings and bases are painted too Gary. The rifle was originally built by Callum and it retains its original Krieger barrel in another calibre. The customer wanted a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
