Very, very nice.

Looks really sweet - need (many) more pics!

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.

Very nice work James.

You are in a league of your own. Kudos.

James,
Not only are your guns beautiful, your photography skills are right there also. Please post more pictures if you have them.

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.

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

A few creature comforts include:
Kenyon Match Trigger with custom trigger shoe
Custom swing safety & bolt shroud
Checkered bolt stop accessible without tooling
09 Arg style magazine release with shortened mags & custom caps
Trap buttplate with spare magazine
24 LPI checkering with 28 LPI skeleton insert checkering in custom grip cap
Custom ejector so the spent cases don't bounce off the scope and back into the mag well
Custom bolt cocking cam sleeve & handle (Orbendorf mini)
Decked rear split bridge
Custom scope base/rings

Simply wonderful James especially the bolt body, makes it complete.

A work of art, thanks for posting it.

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.

I was wondering about the barrel marking.

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!

John

Love the custom rimfires! Well done and executed James.

WOW! Just WOW!

Fabulous!!!

My next personal custom is going to be a rimfire.
Often wonder why we don't see more made. ???

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.

Inspiring.

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.

Roger Vardy makes a similar cover for Brno's Not sure about export, but might inquire

Thanks James.
Thanks Duane. Sent Roger an email.

What a beauty!
Refreshing to see somebody spend real money on a .22

Full stock pics!
What a great piece of pretty much perfectly quarter sawn Turkish Walnut.

James, I believe you did another for this feller.
