Did a little work

[Trav]

So I decided to do some work on my 2 favorite rifles, I am no gunsmith but I think they turned out pretty good. First I swapped out the wood stocks for composite/fiberglass stocks. I free floated the barrels and glass bedded the actions, which may have been overkill as the stocks had an aluminum superstructure and pillars but it can’t hurt. The Browning (tan) has a really nice trigger so I left it alone but I put a new Timney trigger on the Weatherby. I also bought new scopes for them, Leopold VX-3I 4X12 40mm objectives but those aren’t on the rifles in the pictures.

Wow that's nice. Impressive

Thanks, now I just need to get them out to the range.

Very nice Trav^....what caliber is the Weatherby...270 or 06?

[Trav]

The A-Bolt is a .270WSM and the Mark V is a .257 Wheatherby Mag.

Well done sir!

What brand of stocks did you put on them?

[Trav]

They are Bell & Carlson, I was going to use HS Percision but couldn’t find any for my short action Browning. I had to bust out the dremmel to make the bolt release fit on it but overall I was happy with the stocks. Oh and the scopes have the custom dial turrets once I get the loads reworked.

Very cool. Let us know how they shoot one you make it to the range.
