The second set of pix has the right sunlight to really show off a gorgeous custom rifle! Congratulations, may she shoot as good as she looks!


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!

WinkWith the Z6 scope it weighs 9 lbs and 14 oz. I have loaded 370 grain North Forks with 106.2 grains of H4831 benching at 100 yd 3/4 inch and 2613 fps. I got the 350 grain Barnes TS with 1 05 grains H4831 grouping 1/2 inch at 2620.

An absolutely beautiful and purposeful looking rifle. If the bolt were on the opposite side, and considering how close you live, I might even consider asking to borrow it! Just kidding. Enjoy that work of art.

Real purty.
Can you post a pic of the other side? I'd like to see how the stock maker handled the cheekpiece and the bolt release. Thanks.

Definitely my kind of rifle as well. The right kind of form and function, and one you want to hunt with. Does that hold 4 down?

Nice job Mr. Weaver. I really like the dark wood, that baby is bad to the bone. They sure are a ton of work.
Again, nice work!

Very, very nice. I especially like the choice of fluer-de-lis checkering pattern.
The wood is excellent.
Very nice.
I hope it serves you well.

Wink, I considered a box for 4 down but was trying to keep the weight down.

huntnjim –

I would assume this rifle was built by Kevin Weaver of Weaver rifles -- http://www.weaverrifles.com/ -- assuming that he is the creator of this magnificent piece of art - I can highly recommend Kevin -- he has worked on several rifles for me -- his work has been exceptional!--- I can recommend his work and integrity without any reservations what so ever.


OMG!-- my bow is "pull-push feed" - how dreadfully embarrasing!!!!!

Is this one of Kevin's rifles? He is building me a .375 Ruger on a pre-64 action as we speak...

Kevin Weaver is the master of design here. The first Rifle I had him build was a 300 win mag necked to 270 with a Pacnor Match barrell 700 action. (It will drive tacks at a 100)Everything I have seen of Kevin's is top notch. thumb

Jim, your rifle is just about as close to perfect as I have seen. How do you like the new Swaro scope? Is that the long eye relief model?
