baldie Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Here,s one i finished today. The chap wanted a "walking varminter" as the american,s call them.He wants it for fox,s and long range crows. Its a lawton stainless action, fitted with a pacnor fluted barrel, at 24". All bead blasted and an invisible cap. He didn't like the look of a full picatinney rail, so asked for the middle milling off. The bolt handle and rail are duracoat black. Stock is a boyd,s thumbhole varmint, pillar, and fully devcon bedded, our floorplate, and 5 round magazine. Jewell trigger. Calibre is 6mmbr. pics not great........elwood.

Alycidon Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Looks a really nice rifle, being 6BR it will shoot as well. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 pics not great........elwood. I was just about to make the comment on shame about the camera angles What twist rate Dave? I'm having something done similar myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyH Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Very attractive rifle indeed, nice work. Why 6mmBR for foxes and crows? I mean, the police won't certificate a 6mm calibre for varminting alone, will they, so why not one of the .22 cals such as 22-250, or a 20 cal...? My "walkaround varminter" is a Win Featherweight in 223 with a MacMillan stock... I admire that stock, looks quite similar to that on the Remington 700VLSS thumbhole model. Where could I obtain the same stock and how much would it cost, with pillar bedding? TonyH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6ppc Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Nice rifle,you are turning a fair few out now.Tony i think it depends on what force is granting it,here you can get away with 6mm and upto 6.5 to be used for vermin only and some others will grant even larger cals.

baldie Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Twist rate is a 1 in 9" Ian. I didn,t think the pic was bad for Roger,s box brownie.......... Tony. Our forces here will certificate for 6mm, with the correct boxes ticked but he has it down for fox and deer too, he said yesterday, when he picked it up. You are correct about the remmy stock.This is a boyds laminate thumbhole, and they supply all the major manufacturer,s. Infact, if you see a laminate american stock, you can virtually guarantee, its a boyd,s. We have another shipment of stocks due, but they have unfortunatly discontinued this model.Its been replaced with a similar one, with forend vents however. If you ring the shop, Roger would be happy to give you some prices i,m sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually prefer it without the vents - which might be of use on a rifle (probably in a smaller calibre like .223) being used for rapid fire on a prairire-dog town, but which are only a cosmetic detail otherwise. You're lucky about 6mm for varmints - must see if Devon & Cornwall have changed their policy on that. Regards, TonyH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casts_by_fly Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 looks a lot like the Savage model 25 Of course the savage doesn't come with a jewel trigger, lawton action, or in a 6 BR. Thanks Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
