Over the course of time, I've bought actions, barreled actions, stock blanks, and other various components here on AR.I would send these down to Bijou Creek Customs to add to a 300 H&H that they had already competed for me. The rifles are now coming to completion. Here are the 338, 300 H&H, and 7mm Mauser. The rest are being completed and checkered. The set will be:
505 Gibbs
458 Win Mag
404 Jeffery
338 Win Mag
300 H&H
7mm Mauser

one of us Very NICE
Love the wood on the 300H&H
As usual just my $.02 Paul K
One of Us The best blanks went on the 300 H&H, the 458 Win Mag, and the 404, as I recall. The 505 blank was obviously selected for strength.

one of us Nice stuff Jon...
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! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

One of Us you going to put the NECG H&H style flip front big Ivory Bead/fine brass bead combo on any of them? Nothing wrong with that set, other than it is not mine. Rich But, I am working on it.
One of Us Pretty damn nice Jon!

One of Us Bobby, a long time in the making. I think from now on I'll just find stuff already done that I like.

One of Us To quote Wayne at AHR - I don't even know if he took delivery - he probably sold it before it got to him. I expect them to be on sale any day. Glad I am lefthanded. Mike

One of Us Could you please list the particular actions and barrels (top to bottom) that you used on these rifles.
One of Us They're mostly VZ-24 actions. The 458 will be on an original pre-64 Model 70 Supergrade action, and the 505 on an MRC 1999 PH.

One of Us Skipped right over the 375h&h.... Ballsy ;-)
One of Us I'm picky about my bolt handles. I notice all three of these are different. Was that the plan?
The only easy day is yesterday!

One of Us No, they were supposed to all be straight-down Oberndorf-style, and NECG Masterpiece sights.

One of Us Jon, Those are incredible. Beautiful. Nice choice of calibres too; I think you have it covered. Keep me in mind if you need to sell off any of your cast offs in case you need a .416 Rigby or a .22-250 to add to the group. :-)

Yes Jon that would most likely save you some cashola. Nice customs are not cheap. Fun to put a set together though.
