Yes, I tried to more or less duplicate the early factory 98/08 sporter and the Army Hunting rifle . I think the receiver sights give them an upgraded look.

Nice! They look like they need to live in the woods not just visit for a couple weeks a year during deer season.

I gave serious thought to giving my Whelen that classic, iron sight look. But in the end I opted for a scope..

I was tempted by some old Husqvarnas a few days ago.. Love the classic look, and they are lots of fun to shoot. tu2

Really admire that 1912 with the long-drop bolt handle, and in such a great caliber.

Nice guns, I can see the advantage of a long bolt handle. ? have you considered some checkering on the pistol grip only. Most of the "older" Mauser conversions have this feature.

Just an opinion from an old gunnut but to my eyes a hunting rifle without checkering just doeesn't look "finished".

I have some pics. of what I mean and can forward them to via Email to anyone interested. --- John303.

Thanks for the compliments. I have a nice semi-inlet for a 98 sitting here collecting dust, may use it on the Steyr ,something along the same lines of the stock shown here:

IMHO that is a good idea, I like the lines of that stock, most of mine are more "Germanic" almost tiny by most standards. --- John303.

I would not mind have a set of 3 for cast bullet rifles. Make them a 9X57, 9.3X57, 9.5X57.
Later additions might be a 7x57, 8X57 and the funky 10.75X57.

Very nice looking pair there Craigster!

If you are bored sometime, can you set the top action into the bottom stock and see what it looks like? Also, are there front sling studs hidden or are you going to put banded studs on?

Anyway, nice job again.

Nicely done. Very handsome.

Here I thought I was the only one still building "retro sporters." Did this one a few years ago using a commercial action.





This one is a Colombian '06 and I went a bit crazy with the laminated stock that I picked up for next to nothing. Just trying to be a little different.





Speaking of something completely different, how about a Krag?

That CZ is beautiful. I have always liked the stock panels for some reason. I have an old Haenal 88 sporter with them and it is just beautiful.
