Because I know we all (well almost all) like to pimp our stuff, I thought I would start this thread.
Before picture is a Remington SPS varmint in 223, barrel shortened to 20" as I bought it.

I am sure that there is no real benefit to Fluting a bolt, but hell it looks great IMO.
Couple of weeks go I bought a Toz model 16 single shot .22lr off a fellow forum member. Bit of nostalgia really as that is what I learnt to shoot with. I had the barrel shortened to 14" and after a bit of a sanding and polishing it's came up pretty good. No silk purse but I"m happy

Shoots ok too once I tried a couple of brands of ammo. @Spudattack. I found an old box of Kilwell Whisper I must of had for 20 odd years (in a red packet) and yes, it shot the best out of what I tried. CCI subs were just behind so I have settled on them.

5 shots at 37 yards. I don't blame the rifle for the one bottom right.
Picking up the mod 7 tomorrow... Photos to follow:thumbsup:... Bush next week to get some blood on it... ;)
I have never understood what makes you fellahs do this stuff. If you want a 7mm Rem Mag then why buy a 300 Win Mag in the first place? If you want to have a laminated stock then why buy a synthetic one? To me it is sort of like me saying I want a tricked up Lamborghini Contage so I am going to get a Mark Two Zephyr and see if I can't spend some money changing everything on it except the battery.
its called boys and their toys @Rushy we will always find away to waste $$$$
I used to be the same Rushy. Had just about every brand of rifle in every caliber at one point or another. Built heaps myself and when I lost the tool skills had heaps more built for me.Quote:

I bought the standard T3 300wm for the right price and do like the cartridge (I shot a fair few animals with it) but I had always wanted a 7mmRM. Then a brand new 7mmRM barrel came up (again for the right price) I bought it. Couldn't get a laminated left handed T3 either so bought a Boyds stock. Spent a lot less than I would have had to getting exactly what I wanted at the time. And the evolution continues as that rifle now has a VX5 in Talleys rings.
As for the hydrographing - just cos I can. I guess I am just one of those people that enjoys "personalising" my stuff - or I keep changing my mind.:)
Obviously your rifles remain standard and untouched.
Yep. Every rifle I have is still exactly as the factory made it. Not even a lightened trigger among them.Quote:
