I own a couple bolt action rifle that need work. Winter is a good time, for this since my lathe is in the shop, and the shop has a wood stove.
Project one is a Ruger 77 mk2 action. I bought it with a broken wood stock, and a heavy contour 25-06 barrel. I purchased a Ruger brand zytel stock and I plan to build a very light wt carbine in 308 win. Since Ruger uses integral scope mounts,and rings. I plan to fit it with a replaceable rear aperature sight, or a low power scope.
Project two is Brno VZ-24 that I sporterized, and used to experiment shooting 458 win mag. Now that I have dealt with the local elephant population, I plan to rebuild it into something more usefull. I replaced the extractor with a spare, so it will function a 8mm Mauser (or 30-06) case again. I have several rifled barrel blanks, so I could litteraly build another 308, 270, or 257 Rbts at no cost. I am considering building a nice sporter in 250 Savage. Perhaps a 6.5 Creedmore would be more stylish these days, but I used to own a 250, and I liked it.
