Bergara HMR 6.5 creed for shooting some gongs

Look forward to shooting a target

Here's our whole family of Marlins. The 45/70 you may have seen in the facelift photo , my daughter's beloved 357 you can't get out of her hands with anything short of a crowbar , and my sons 30/30 XLR jm stamped.
The 357 is now wearing a standard style scope instead of scout style and a suppressor... this is an older pic.

One of three Mannlicher 1903's I picked up yesterday, I'm looking for a M1910 now !

looks nice. What calibre? Cant make out the packet

6.5X54 all M1903 Mannlichers are 6.5X54 unless they have been rechambered/rebarreled, one of the others is a TD - take down & the other is a full stock Carbine to but been messed around a bit !

I can't see the photo on my computer but I see it on my phone ?

Here's another from my stable. Ruger M77 mk2 s/s with a paddle/skeleton stock in 243 . I made the wooden inserts over lockdown to replace the original plastic inserts out of plywood, coloured them with a mixture of leather dye and linseed oil and then 'varnished' them with 5 layers of superglue. They're as hard as rock now and 100 percent waterproof. Also wearing the factory sling and have the factory gun bag also. I keep considering moving it on as I rarely use it but can't bring myself to do it...

Put the old girl on a diet. Chopped to 20" fluted etc. Pretty pleased, standard remmy 300wsm.

New to me but far from new, in fact I believe this is the oldest thing I own, from a bit of research this is probably 1860's vintage. 9mm pinfire, likely French.

@Timmay it's a model 700 so slightly heavier. Mine was fluted up here in Hawkes Bay but have used gun works in the past. I'd do it again. Went and shot a group today and it's just as accurate as before. If you like your rifle why not?

thanks mate, yeah looks tidy.

Another of my lockdown projects. Mossberg 500a 12g shotty. Picked it up a while back...has had a hard life. Rusted barrel , receiver and barrel had been attacked by a spray can of green paint and painted in what I guess was supposed to be camo of some discription. Stock was beaten up and so on. Stripped the paint off and found the receiver all scratched through the coating. Bought a trade me picatinny rail which of course was probably chinese and though it was advertised to fit was metric threads on fittings. So drilled and retapped top to fit rail then threw on cheap $30 red dot which is remarkably good. Stripped,sanded and polished receiver. Fitted stock from my 590a1. Made and fitted hand strap on pump. Also repaired safety switch and a few other small mods. Refinished barrel. It's now 15.5 inches barrel length as the pointy end was to far gone with rust to save but internally rust free surprisingly. So now is a short handy shotty easy to point and with the window style red/green dot very fast on target.

Nice work.

Absolutely over the moon with my new build. Smithing done by Aj Carr. He truly went over and above. Sent down for a new barrel, came back with trigger lightened, bedded, and threaded with a dpt that I had no idea I was buying lol. It also feeds flawlessly.

Sako 75 280ai, proof barrel 24 inch, dpt mag can and precision platforms stock. Topped with a vx6 at the minute as my zeiss v6 didnt fit.

Also thanks to Cam at alpine. Nothings a hassle with that fella
