New rifle in the house

L. David KeithNew rifle in the house
Jerry Whitehead from Hohenwald, TN salvaged my .308 Norma mag stock and just finished my .375 Ruger. Now to put a Leupold 2x7 on it and it will be ready to roll. Built on a 98 mauser action (still has the german proof marks) with a Douglas barrel, Sims recoil pad and a Timney trigger. Sorry the pics aren't better, I took them with a pocket digital in bad light.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

bwanamrmCongrats David! I look forward to hearing how she performs in the field!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Try to look unimportant. Your enemy might be low on ammo.

L. David KeithI salvaged this stock from my old .308 Norma magnum and had the .375 Ruger built. Next will come the checkering and scope. I'll be using non-con bullets from B&M rifles/cartridges. Just didn't want to turn the stock into a boat paddle, it fits me too well and I like nostalgia. LDK
