New 7x57 sporter


Mausermeister

Recommended Posts

I started on this one nearly a year. Finally got around to finishing the stock and metal yesterday.

 

Receiver is a Turked gew98.

Barrel is one of the new surplus 7x57, 17.25" carbine barrels from Sarco.

Bold trigger.

Richards Microfit 'camo' laminate stock finished with clear acrylic.

Rear pillar and front ring glass bedded.

Free floated barrel.

Pachmayr 1" recoil pad.

Gunkote matte black finish.

Bolt handle is my own creation.

Timney Buehler-style low safety.

Millett one piece scope base and rings.

Topped with a Weaver V7, 2.5-7 power scope (need some lower rings).

 

Maybe I will get time to work up a good load and kill a deer with it before season ends.

That's one really nice looking stick. I really like the bolt handle.
