Thread: Walnut and blued steel,

Finished reinventing this Sako Bavarian I bought from RyanS. Ready for it’s SA Safari in July.

Big thanks to @garyp for the barrel band.

Like the rife.

The comb is no lower than the Bavarian. I initially got Sako lows for it but discovered the ejector propels the case straight into the underside of the scope, ejecting 1 of of every three cases. Poor ejector location from Sako. However I’m a big guy so it doesn’t matter.

Like the improvements that you made it looks so much better than when you first laid hands on it @FRST thanks for posting and good luck on that dark continent

5 inches of recoil pad as well , should tame that 6.8

Better not go fishing with you call that 5.......

One of my more recent buys. A Heym SR30 straight pull in .308. Nice figured stock chosen out of the factory. Hopefully shoots as well as it looks. Always intrigued with the ball bearing lock up on these so had to try one. Fit and finish as you would expect.

Had a go with one of these in 9.3x62. Love the action. The stock had been replaced by Kevin Gaskill in a Bavarian style. I prefer yours. Can I ask where you bought it?

Thanks, I think the stock on these SR30 Heym’s are sleek and well proportioned. I imported this from Hermann’s Guns in Victoria Australia.

Very nice Heym!

I know they say only accurate rifles are interesting but those with blue steel and Walnut are even more interesting. Here are three of my rimfires. Top, Weihrauch HW 66 Production in .22LR I bought new and had it checkered and ebony fore end fitted ( and yes for some reason it is a Production with open sights), middle is a CZ 452 American in .22WMR and the bottom a Anschutz 1710 HB in .22LR with one of LeRoys ‘Canyon Creek’ custom stocks ( single photo gives a better view of the Canyon Creek stock)

You're gonna be the king of this thread in no time...

Awesome rifles.

Not mine but I'm looking after it for the next few years as the owner is away overseas.

We looked up the serial numbers and from memory it was built around late 60's early 70's in a time when Remington made quality firearms, a Remington 700 in .243 where the action is solid and smooth, the stock is stunning with well cut chequering and it's very accurate even with the old redfeild scope on top.

It's been sitting in someone's gun safe either lost in the safe or as a safe queen until we bought it through Trade Me but guess how much?

Talking all things walnut I am delighted with my latest .22LR Weihrauch HW66 Production.
