Gentlepeople:

I thought I would post an update on the .30-06 rifle I am putting together for my son. The barreled action was just returned from Roger Ferrell and I now have some additional photos to share.

First, specifics:

Pre-64 Model 70 Winchester Action
Krieger Barrel chambered for .30-06 Springfield
NECG Rear sight with one standing and two folding blades on a quarter rib
NECG Banded front ramp sight
Barrel band Swivel
Sunny Hill Bottom Metal with integral box
Denli Exhibition Circassian Walnut blank
Bill Soverns is doing the stocking to include a skelton grip cap and an ebony fore end tip.
Leupold Vari-X III 2 - 8 X scope
Quick Detachable Talley Rings and bases

I am going with a British Stalking design for the stock, similar to the one in this photo:

Here is the blank that is being used:
