Ray Atkinson, Is this a rifle that you made?  Atkinson rifle for sale. Get the 'power' or optic that your eye likes instead of what someone else says. When we go to the doctor they ask us what lens we like! Do that with your optics. | ||

Don't know if he built it or not but it says it is a claw extractr, NOT. Maybe a little one,like a Sako extractor. Nice gun though. Jim Kobe 10841 Oxborough Ave So Bloomington MN 55437 952.884.6031 Professional member American Cusom Gunmakers Guild | |||

I wonder if this rifle was built by the late-great Bill Atkinson, rather than great, and still above ground, Ray Atkinson. Matt FISH!! Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984: "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right." | |||

My bet is the former. JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous. | |||

No sir, I did not make that rifle. I've had several emails that tell me a 404 that I built is on Guns International or Guns America, can't remember which..Never checked it out, but they knew the gun. It was on a big Obendorf Mauser action. Dennis Olson did most of the metal work and I did some of the metal and did the stock on that rifle.

This rifle is a customized SAKO L61R. Caliber is probably original but barrels profile not so it has been changed. According to the serial number this rifle has been made in mid-1970`s. | |||

Wonder if it was the Atkinson of Atkinson & Marquette(?) in Prescott, Arizona. Back in the 70s, till they had a falling out, there was an Atkinson and Marquette?, (A&M) gunsmith company in Prescott, Arizona. They had quite a reputation for custom work. As I recall from an old article about them, Atkinson will then go to work for Ruger and then H&R, running their barrel production. | |||
