My custom LH 35 Whelen built by Gary Stiles is finally done! And AHEAD of schedule by 4 months! Don't hear that often. Anyway.....he had it on display at a gun show & I took some pictures. He still has a few minor things to do but it is 98% right now. I am more than pleased. The Turkish blank I bought from Ray atkinson turned out very nice. These pictures do not do it justice. I was not able to get many good shots in the tight confines of the show. I will take better ones when I pick it up. All I need to do now is get the rest of the $$$ together. Hopefully by months end so I can bring it home

I have another action with him now....it will be a 280.

My goodness...that action has the bolt on the wrong side! roll eyes. Well, she sure is a beauty and will serve you well. What was the mother action? There is some nice wood there. Great caliber too! Regards, Rick.

That's a LH Zastava action. Beautifully done, by the way. Congratulations.

Dude! You're drooling all over the floor in that second pic!
Looks good.

Does look that way doesn't it!!

I can't wait to get this baby home & work up some loads. I will be putting a Leupold 2.5-8x scope on top. The peep on it now is a "just i case" back up.

Ironbuck-

Congratulations on your new rifle. Gary does excellent work. I know you are one Proud Poppa.

Nice brace of rifles. I like everyone of them and the mauser looks nice too.

Wonderful rifle. Whose aperture was used? Thanks for the view. Packy

I will have to ask Gary about the apeture. I thought he said it was a talley....but can't recall for certain. I had thought about using a quarter rib express type rear sight but knew I'd be using a scope 99% of the time.Gary suggested this set up. He still has to decipher the height of the front bead & install it so it works with the peep

Very nice gun looks great !!

That reminded me of the Talley setup. But I have yet to use one. Packy
