.270 face lift

This is my pre-64 .270. I decided to put a new stock on it. Mike Kokolus turned it for me and I finished it up. I just picked it up from the guy who checkers for me. It's stock except for the Williams bottom metal. It shoots 160's very well so I saw no reason to mess with it. I don't know why I can't take a clear distant shot so no you're not drunk looking at those pics

Dempsey,

Your rifle is magnificent. I like every part of it.

I am just reposting the pistol grip from your rifle which holds my attention.

Thanks, it's a fun hobby and sort of addictive. George, Arnold at Capitol Sports checkered it for me. He does a nice job and is a real pleasure to deal with.

Stock carries beautiful lines. The cheek piece and your selection of wood really make for a beautiful package. Good job.

a beautiful rifle indeed! i just couldn't bring myself to take her hunting. the craftsmanship appears to be outstanding.

dempsey

LBguy, I see the little mistakes here and there that I made so it doesn't bother me. I do have a real nice one I had built for me and I admit I do baby it

The whole project totals about $1400 so I'm not in it much at all. The blank was a real bargain. I wish the distant shots came out clearer, the wood is very nice. I bought it from Presliks.
