my new toy.... (photos)
      15/03/07 01:02 AM

Just thought I'd share a few pics of my new toy. It was finished a couple of months ago.

Stainless Ruger M77 MkII in .338 Win Mag. Ruger factory walnut stock that has been reshaped and slimmed down. Stock refinished with about 47 hand rubbed coats of oil. Checkering recut. Some goodies like jeweled bolt and extractor, Neidner pistol grip cap, African ebony fore end cap, Timney trigger, Mauser cross bolt. Action glass bedded. Lugs lapped. Action polished. Extractor tuned. With scope, it weighs 8.75 pounds. (The scope is a Leupold Vari-X III 2.5-8x)

I like it!









My gunsmith friend Todd Johnson did all of the work.

This baby was built to be used. It's not going to be a "safe queen". If I get back to South Africa, I'm going to try to whack an Nyala with it. Maybe a nice Blue Wildebeest too. Don't really need a .338 Win Mag to shoot an Nyala but I'm just a medium bore kind of guy.


Cheers!!
