Hello everyone.
Here's a pair of rifles we've just finished in 9.3x62mm and 6.5x55mm AI configuration. Both are ordered by the same man and tailored to his liking. Furthermore they're made from two adjacent lumps of turkish walnut to make them look the same. With cut rifling, both are capable of less then 0,5" 3 shot groups at 100 m so it's definitely not all show and no go. Handmade precision as we like to call it. I hope you enjoy them as much as we're proud of them.
Both are fitted with a Montana M-99 action; the modern copy of the classic Winchester M-70 pre '64 action.
Triggers are set to 800 grams on both rifles. 750-1500 gram adjustability comes as standard, but a 50-1300 gram adjustable Arnold Jewell trigger is available as well.
H&H Style 'Express' Sight
Fire
No build-in sight on this one
Hand checkered to 18 LPI
Pachmayr 1/2" rear cover
Turkish walnut grade 6
Both are oiled and polished repeatedly to a glossy finish per the customers requirements.

Beautiful!
Same thickness to the butt pads is it? For such different recoilers or is the 9.3 pad a heavier version?
They are both stunning rifles to me all over.

Man, what a classic safari set-up. The pride of ownership will be abundant when he get's these. In fact he'll not shut up for three weeks.

Exquisite work. A job very well done that both yourself and the owner can take pride in.

Thanks Gryphon!
For aesthetic reasons the butt pads are the same thickness on these two, but 1" pads are available as well.

G'Day Fella's,
JRC, great looking pair of rifles there mate!
I love that image of the reflected empties cases, in the sheen of the 9.3's butt stock!!!

Interesting pair of rifles. Personally I would have preferred a "straight classic stock" Are these built on the Montana action, or?
How much does a contoured Jensen barrel cost? I assume you still make cut-rifled barrels.

These are indeed build on Montana actions. Have a look at these for our more classic builds:

We exclusively make cut-rifled barrels and a contoured and blued/blackened Jensen barrel is around $900 fitted + VAT depending on the rifle. Trickier builds have to be at a quote.
