ken98k Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I've been working on this one for a couple years off and on. Single shot 30-06, built on a Parker-Hale sniper receiver. I'm guessing it weighs about 12 lbs. I haven't shot it yet but it functions flawlessly with dummy rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokengun Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 That's a nice job! Did that start out as a Parker Hale casting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzRednek Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'm anxious to see a range report. I bet the long and heavy barrel prints pretty tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted May 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I was going to load up a few rounds for it tonight but an old friend showed up and ---- Maybe this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken98k Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I finally got around to shooting this rifle. I fired 50 rounds of 175 grain "Tubb Final Finish" bore Lapping bullets, running a couple patches through after each 5 rounds. I was easily getting 1" groups @ 100 yards. A better shooter could reduce that by half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
