................colour case hardened (just to upset people)?

That would be incredibly cool

[trevort]

in the white means normal steel not yet blued, you can colour case harden that I believe

I dont thnk you can colour case harden stainless but I could be wrong, it might have happened once before.


And I will repeat the question asked earlier, looks like an action for a LRBR Heavy gun, why did you select that action for the cartridges chosen?

No commentary on your choice, just interested

It will be setup for my f open gun at this stage. The weight limit of 10kg allows the use of a fairly solid action. The main reasons were it was available in rblp it was stainless and the price was right. Yes it is very long for the use of those 2 cases. It leaves options for further down the track if I want to run a 280AI or a magnum that needs the long ejection port.
I would have liked a bat but the wait time and cost made the decision a no brainer.

Probably a cerakote colour to suit. Hmm, then add some gold inlaid engraving on a bling walnut stock.

This build was held up for some time waiting for my reamers and barrel blank. I picked the action up on saturday. It has been chambered in 6.5x47 with a tight neck. Jewell br set at 1.5oz. I started the inletting saturday arvo got the pillars in sunday let them set and this arvo the bedding was started. Hoping to run it in this weekend.

If your keen for an arvo session tomorrow, we can run it in then. I have another 7mm barrel to run in too

Here's another shot of the final touches with the cut outs and polished action.

[Vermingone]

That's a nice lookin rifle there Wardy

[Brad Y]

And it shot bugholes after running in last night too.

Now I just need to get it working that well at long range.
