All metal work was recently rust blued by Roger Ferrell. Stock originally done by Al Lind and just refreshed by Al.
Total weight 8 pounds 4 ounces. Caliber - .280 Remington. Hope it shoots. CB

Beautiful!

Thanks. I'll try for some better pictures in natural light. These pictures are awful and don't do this rifle justice. Sorry.

Very nice Ray!

New pictures are in.

Really nice I like the checkering pattern

The buttpad looks real bright...is it rubber?

Very nice rifle...Enjoy!

It's the original half inch Old English pad. Al cleaned it up. Might replace it with an .80 Old English in brown someday.

Nice! What action is that?

Thanks. Action is based on a small ring Mauser 98 and was one of a limited run (50 reported) of double square bridge actions with integrated quick release scope mounts. It was designed and made by H.L. Grisel before he co-founded Dakota Arms in 1986. He also was one of the founding fathers of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild (ACGG).

Was a nice action, though the scope mounting system was somewhat strange.

Sorry don´t want to capture the thread.
I changed the scope mount system to Talley´s.
Caliber 7mm Rem.
Metal work Hartmann & Weiß
Engraving H. Funk
Color case hardening Ledger
Stock work G. Walther

heavenknows - Thanks for the pictures and reply.
Both of your rifles are very nice and that Ledger color case is very fine. I anticipated having my first Grisel action French Greyed and some fine scroll added and the Grisel name enhanced, plus fine border work on the bottom metal. But, decided that I prefer a higher grade wood to warrant that. So, I ended up having it restored to the original look.
I had one of the anchor screws loosen up when I fire-formed some cases on this rifle. They require a lot of torque to hold tightly. I added a new scope and then torqued them so hard that I twisted the hex wrench. Hope it's enough. Might head out to the range today. It's too windy to test hand loads. But, at least I can see how I like the new scope and see if the rings will hold tight now.
Danke

Beautiful

Thanks for the info! I've obviously heard of Grisel, but never realized that he actually marketed his own action.

You're welcome. Google Dakota 76 and H.L. Grisel sometime. He had a hand in its' development as well.
