I’m liking the look of those rings, and everything else.

Very nice.
It would be nice to see photos of the other side of the rifle.

Thanks guys for the kind words. I hope everyone understands that not a single custom rifle gets built on the second hand market. A lot of credit to all the beautiful custom rifles we see pics of start with a client willing to pay for the original art to be built in the first place. I can't thank my clients and other gunmaker's clients as well for keeping this small industry alive. Big Grin

I've got a few more pics but I'm sore and tired after hanging sheet rock all day helping future in-laws.

Wonderful piece of work! By the way, what does the lettering on the barrel say? Looks Like "Sportster Model 37"

Thanks John
I really like my Millwrite software. It generated a "fake" sporter engraving program. I don't think Rem made any sporters and roll stamped all their Model 37's RANGEMASTER. Even though this has a match barrel, chamber and trigger it is 100% sporter.

Love it James. Like how you styled the barrel lettering as Remington did. Takes a LOT of work to make a good looking rifle out of a 37 and you did a great job of it. I really appreciate the attention to the small details you put into your work. Great job!

Love the custom rimfires! Well done and executed James.


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.

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...

Beautiful rifle!

I bought a 22 WMR 2 years ago and had a booger of a time finding a nice factory rifle.

Got a Steyr Zephyr II with threaded barrel. Probably nicest factory available by a mile in rimfire..... but nowhere close to this!!!!

My all time favorite 22 LR was a win mod. 63 I built for myself lengthed the stock and magazine, added a quarter rib and Talley rings to the quarter rib and a Leupold 2.5 alaskan. Iron sights on the quater rib barrel band sights and rust blue. A piece of awesome black with dark brown highlights Russian walnut to a simi cresent butt plate..Loaded thru trap in the butt plate not the side. I swore Id never sell it but big bucks beyond my dreams left me with a photograph!! Ive built three of those. they keep disapearing..Dennis Olson did the metal on one, Tony Barnes did the other two, I did the wood..

Speechless with this one!
How did it shoot?
I think about how fun it would be to run every kind of ammo through it to find it's favorite.

about 3/8" to 1/2" on a windy day @ 50 yards. I didn't have very many varieties of match ammo.

Hello again James.

The magazine cover is very inspiring. I hope you saved the specs. How much to make one for my custom stocked (clip fed) Mauser .22LR model MM410B? The footprint of the bottom metal is similar to this one. Please PM. Ray Copenhaver - CB.

Sorry, I don't have time to make small runs as I've got several patient clients waiting for complete custom rifles.
