22-250 Custom Sako
I have had some request for pictures of other rifles I have built. This is a 22-250 Remington built on a medium Sako action. I built new Talley style bases on the action, the detent in the rear bridge is to hold the rear peep sight on. I built a rear sight out of steel (not much of an aluminum fan). The front ramp is integral to the barrel. 3 position safety and new bolt handle.

The stock is a nice piece of California English walnut. 22 LPI on the checkering.

The engraving was done by Gary Griffiths. He has engraved several of my rifles and does a great job.

I would love to answer any questions you might have about this rifle or any other rifle.

Thanks Justin

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

Just the front ramp integral to the barrel is impressive beyond belief.

Possibly not designed to appeal to the same group of buyers as the Remington 710. clap

WOW, a real beauty.


velocity is like a new car, always losing value.
BC is like diamonds, holding value forever.

Please pardon my ignorance, but is the bolt still Sako? Like, is it possible to put a safety like that on a Sako? If so, what's involved in the transformation? Thanks in advance! BK

Ed LaPour provides model 70 style safety for a Sako like the one pictured. I'm curious as to where the receiver sight was sourced.

That knocks the "WOW" factor clear out of the ballpark!

And that stock is fantastic "eye candy" to this ol' wood
lover.

That is what you call "functional art" of the first order, outstanding.

I like the iron sight combination. It puts me in mind of my Shiloh Sharps, only executed better.
