Here's my latest sporter. Started on it in January or February, I just blued it today.

6.5X55 Sweede, A&B barrel, Boyds stock that I slimmed down a lot, ebony fore-end tip and grip cap, hard plastic butt plate, stripper clip hump removed, Wisner safety, added a 98 style gas deflector to the bolt sleeve, recontoured trigger guard, FN type extended floor plate release, d&t for 2 piece bases.

Still need to add the swivel studs.

 

I got it like this--

Looking good! You know I am going to comment on you posting pics in a hurry with cutting down the safety screw first again.

Very nice. The bolt shroud modification looks like it turned out good. What model stock is that? I like the looks of it.

 

The bolt shroud/sleeve was somewhat of a challenge but it's a one of a kind. I've seen them with the gas deflector or the wisner safety but never together.

 

The stock is a Boyds RIA Sportsman.

I added a Redfield wide view 4X scope with Weaver bases and Millett Angle Lock rings.

Shoots Federal 140 sp to 1" @ 100 yards. Would probably do better with a better marksman.

I noticed the primers had pushed out slightly so I re-checked the headspace when I got home and it checks out okay.

I'm not sure what's up with that.
