I love it when people shit on the attributes of other peoples' CUSTOM rifles. If you don't like it, come off of your wallet and have one built your way. | |||

Below is a quote from Duane on the comments of stock design and a steel buttplate. Duane: " Well..obviously I didn't properly"pose" the rifle in the previous photo. This one might rest the fears of a hammered cheek. The steel buttplate causes me concern...Yeah...I know..I won't be shooting it that much...But this is my manufactured plate that is a direct copy of the old Mann /Sch. I've already installed and shot this design on a couple of realitively heavy hitters with surprising and pleasant out come. The curveature is deeper than competition and is wider at the toe. Again..this is a copy..I take no credit for this thoughtful design that REALLY diminishes felt recoil"  | |||

If the recoil is too much I would be happy to purchase it from you  | |||

One of my 9.3x62 rifles is a Husqvarna M148 that I had reamed from 9.3x57. No scope, svelte stock and plastic butt pad. Recoil off the bench is nothing to worry about, recoil on game is non existent. That looks to be a great rifle that will be enjoyed by generations to come. | |||

Fine example of engraving... love it. 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. | |||

These are the final images of the rifle. I couldn't be happier. I owe a big thanks to Duane for the rifle. I look forward to getting it out in the field next season.        | |||

Sort of reminds me of the dental molding you see on some houses. In any case, I like it. Did you radius the ramp on that front sight? | |||

I agree. What some may not be taking into account is the angle of the butt plate in relation to the comb. In recoil the stock should move down and away from the face, not up and into it. The drop is not great and the rifle should recoil back and down. If the plate is proportioned properly it should spread the force equally around the shoulder pocket.

Dentil molding was the first thing I thought of, although the details are a bit different. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

For all this concern about the steel buttplate, you would think this thing was chambered in 577 T-Rex or something. My Remington Mod.30 with steel buttplate is one of the most comfortable rifles to shoot that I own, and my load of choice is a maxed out 180 gr. Granted, that is 100 gr. less bullet, but it is also a few 100fps more velocity. Duane is right that it is all about the angle of the buttplate in relation to the axis of the bore. I also think the amount of curve helps as it will spread the recoil force over a more broad surface area. | |||

Boy ain't that the truth. I have a couple young men working for me that received certificates from one of the gunsmithing schools. Neither of them knew what pitch was when they started here. They do now, and all we do is build AR-15's. I can remember when I was a kid my dad would lecture me about how these gunsmiths these days don't know what pitch is and what it does. And that was 40 years ago. Just one more thing that sets MR Wiebe apart from the crowd. I hope someday I am able to add an example of his work to my collection. John | |||

pitch isn't the big problem, not knowing how to use a file is. | |||

I really like that bolt handle job, and would like a better view of the bolt. Did he just cut it off at the square, and then jig and start welding? I've done a few (after having the welding done) or did he make the shaft and knob and then jig it and have it welded up? Good picture of it, its underside, and the action cut would be appreciated. I have always thought that we need to make things a bit longer in the shank today. Bigger scope eye pieces, lens caps, and my older fatter fingers than when I started playing at doing gun work in the mid sixties. Alas, An old 1963 Herters catalog on a table a big gun show about brought tears to my eyes a couple months ago. | |||

Thank you for the response Duane. That is a bolt job to make me VERY envious of the quality of your work. Craft and art. | |||

The 9.3 is not much of a kicker and on a well fitting rifle, fired from a hunting position, rather than from the bench, they work fine. My original 107 year old 404 Jeffery, that only weighs 8 1/2 pounds has a steel butt plate as well and with the original 404 loads is not at all painful.  And Duane, that 9.3 looks like another fantastic hunters hunting rifle !! Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

Phil, I agree. My 9.3X62 is very pleasant to shoot. I was surprised how easy and well it shot at the range. It is one of my favorites. | |||
