Everyone keeps saying it’s a perfect bear gun, but I suppose that the weather resistance of the materials. The client also wanted it designed as such, but it seems like it could be a gun for almost everything worldwide.

Trust me, I’m a fan of fine walnut and most of my guns are stock as such. Would I want to take one and drag it through the rough country of Alaska? I don’t know, but I did not expect them to be pretty forever, but I suppose cosmetic surgery always works on most things.

As far as brakes, I don’t care much for them as the blast is intense. It’s also why I can’t stand the .357 anymore. Give me a .44 any day. I did just buy a 7 STW on a Wby action with a brake, but I bought it mostly for the wood (see above, as I don’t don’t care for wby or brakes, but have piles of 7 STW).

Brakes reduce recoil.


That's a very nice rifle! So you made the receiver? With the titanium and stainless parts, and composite stock, it should hold up well out in the elements.


Yes I did make the receiver, it's one of a number of designs I've made that revolve around the M98 core design.
What I mean by core design is traditional 3 lug M98 bolt with guide rib non-rotating claw extractor in all of its detail. Buttress threads on the safety shroud, M98 field stripable striker assembly, C-Ring breech, fixed blade ejection and M98 bolt stop. Basically it's a modern M98 in its entirety, no omissions to the M98 Design.
The trigger design can be described as a modified Grisel which is similar to a model 70 trigger, all of which are excellent triggers for hunting rifles.


Just like everybody else I have my own personal preferences on what I would or wouldn't want on a custom rifle. Both of these examples I assume we're made to satisfy a customers wants so they reflect that. I see no sense in picking apart a rifle that someone presents here based solely on small details. Bottom line, I like the rifles and yes I would make some other choices if I was the one paying for it. Wink

This is another rifle based on my action and stock in 375 H&H. The action features the traditional square bridges that have been machined to accept Talley QD rings.
The receiver, M98 in its entirety is made from 17-4 stainless with H1000 heat treat, the bolt is 4140 CM and the bottom metal is 303 stainless. The barrel is a stainless Krieger milled fully integral by Andy at
Sunnyhill then threaded, indexed and chambered here by me. The stock on this one is my stock but is all fiberglass and Kevlar and weighs a pound and six ounces more than the carbon fiber version, overall weight on this model is 9lbs 7oz unscoped. It has a good balance and feel. I'm working the action for another one of these in 17-4 stainless with an integral barrel but express style sights in 404 Jeffery.

This is Stu's receiver. In days gone by Stu and I believe James Anderson had a shop called Taconic Arms in NY. I think the Ti Mauser receivers were their specialty.

Correct.
James, Howard,Ed,Larry,Don and myself where the crew of the short lived Taconic Firearms LTD.
As I recall we finished 8 rifles with titanium small ring 98 actions for shot show and SCI show season 1998.
Taconic ceased operations in March of 1998 due to lack of sales.

I purchased all the assets of Taconic in April of 2000 roughly 2 years later. Included was 39 complete actions special tools and fixtures some that I still use today to build my Satterlee actions.

As always I do appreciate the traditional wood and blued steel rifle and I have a few of those in the works as well.

Hi mate. Can you please share what colour? I am thinking of doing one of mine, and just looking at the different blacks available at the moment.

Yep... and just imagine it as a .404 Jeff!


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.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

My latest 375 Ruger 77, made only in 2008 then discontinued, and seems to be a mk 2 with mod. 70 trigger blue and wood with a 4X new Leupold on it weights 7.5 lbs naked and almost 8 lbs with scope..no brake, great trigger, not glassed and the stock is holding up without glass so far..and has nice Ruger iron sights, barrel band front sight and barrel swivel..I guess you could call it a pre African rifle..and it has a special ser. number. description and validation in another post here somewhere..The only other one Ive seen is for sale in GI for $2000 and is part of Bill Rugers Gun Collection according to the add.

Anyway it handles recoil very well indeed and Im loving it and it shoots great with 3 or 5 shot groups..I like the weight and how it handles recoil as it shouldn't do both?
