I am very proud of my new hunting rifle built by David Christman. David is a ACGG member that James Mock wrote an article on in Precision Shooting a while back. I am very happy that I followed James advice to use David. I do all of my own BR rifles and beater hunting rifles, but wanted to treat myself with something that a true artist can build.
It started as a Mexican small ring Mauser. David welded and machined double square bridges for the scope rings, which are Talley quick disconnect. He welded on a Jerome Glimm bolt handle, checkered the bolt release, and installed an Ed Lapour 3 position safety. The trigger is a Blackburn as is the bottom metal. The half octagon barrel is a Shilen CM and has a NECG banded front ramp sight. David crafted an island rear iron sight. The english walnut came from Roger Vardy in Australia. He has trees dating back to the days that the prisoners and bad guys were exiled there. David's stockwork and checkering is just fantastic. His mentor was Maurice Ottmar, who was one of the masters.
It is a 275 Rigby or also known as a 7X57.
