tom masonAre those scope bases Kimbers? How much for the rifle?

Texas KillartistVery nice Mr. Kobe.
The bases look like the ones Mr. Kobe put on my 09 Argie that are his design for Talleys.

MJinesNice looking rifle. Question for the stockmakers. I notice that sometimes the stock is contoured to the lines of the stripper clip thumb cut and on others the stock comes straight back to the bolt release. I presume that is just a matter of personal taste. Any other explanations pro or con?

That was one of the last "McFarland" checkered bolt knobs.

customboltAlthough I'm not a stock maker, for me it's a matter of personal taste. I have that same look on my 1936 Mexican. I didn't expose the vent just forward of the slot either. I like the continuity of the top edge of the stock.

Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can.

If I didn't already have an action for a 7x57 build I'd be on this one fast.
