Thread: Walnut stock build (done the traditional way)

Well @Mathias you know just as well as I do what a great cartridge the 6x45 is. It’s the ‘go to’ rifle for me for damn near everything these days. I’ve taken 5 deer with it over the last couple of months (4 reds and a fallow spiker), and it just gets the job done.

I’ve got my ultimate 6x45 in the works, going to be built off a Zastava action (because I can’t afford a Vixen based on the price the last one on TM sold for!) with a nice walnut stock on it. The BSA is great, but the bolt and receiver are full-size, where the Zastava is more appropriately sized for the case.

Yep, the cost efficient 6x45 is a hard one to pass in this reloading shortage environment. Good news on the second addition to the family, the Zastava will be a great basis as we have seen before on the forum. Look forward to seeing some pic's when she's all go.
What bullet did you end up sticking with for venison harvest?
