I've posted these before but thought I would do it again in honor of the new forum. My much prized Hensley 280 Remington on a G 33/40. Shoots well too, 140 grain NF from a doe 2 years ago.

His son Trez, who posts on here; learned at his father's knee. His work is spectacular. In this case, at least, the acorn did not fall far from the tree.

Beautiful work..I have bought some mauser metal from Trez in the past and he was pleasure to deal with.

Outstanding. There have been some terrific rifles pictured on this forum over the years, some fancier and many possibly costing more, but none as nice to my eye as this one. I bet it feels and handles just as nice as it looks and shoots. Simply outstanding!!!

Every bit oustanding...A note of caution...see the rear tang damage? When you receive a rifle that has had the tang lowered as this one (and hundreds of other customs) Be VERY careful lining up the cocking piece so it enters the receiver groove dead center.

Almost impossible to repair this type of damage..but if you're careful putting the bolt in the first time, after routine disassembly this damage won't occur.

I'll fess up! My own 270 has a little bit of this !!..happens when you get in a hurry.
