This is my Merkel K1, chambered in 7 X 65R. It's part of a 2 barrel set with the other one being a 9.3 X 74 R.

Here's a pic of my Blaser K95 in 6.5 Creedmoor.

Here is a kind of rare single shot stalking rifle that I have, it is a Chapuis Oural chambered in 7X65 R. This one was engraved by Jean Marie Smets.

I have purchased them in the past from Midwest gun works and Numrich. My .375 H&H model 70 classic has the same spring as my .300 win mag. I do a lot of messing around with model 70s and have interchanged springs between the old New Haven ones in the newer North Carolina and have not had any...

The Model 70 .416 Ruger that I recently finished for a friend has a Shilen #5 cut to 20". I was going to use a 24 inch one for my personal build but after feeling the balance of this I'm considering making mine 20 inches also. If I remember right it weighed just under 8 lbs.

It sounds like a really good selection to me. The new viper HD 3–15 is a really good optic. I have shot over 40 antelope and used 11 or 12 different cartridges to do it and your set up will be great.

After I finish chambering a barrel, I wrapped 600 grit around a dowel and run. It back-and-forth to create a light cross hatch pattern. For what you wanna do, I might start with putting some steel wool around a brush and running it in there a little bit first to see if it cleans it out, you’ll...

I decided to take a rifle that I built several years ago and re-barrel it with a lighter weight barrel and in a new caliber. I decided to go with a 20 inch proof research .30 caliber barrel and make a .308 Winchester. The former barrel was a 23” Krieger MTU in 6.5 Creedmoor, and that was very...

I am using one of the factory Winchester magazine boxes, that I have modified to provide more room for the shoulder of the cartridges. At this time, it seems to work well, but it is still in development/prototyping stages. If you look at what Winchester did For the WSM and the ultra mag...

Please Don’t Hijack! Before this turns into another AH 19 page back-and-forth, I’m going to politely as I can, and with as little humor and sarcasm as I’m capable of, ask you to not hijack this thread. This thread is for .375 and .416 Ruger cartridges in a model 70 action. I’ve been on this...

I found some pictures that I took about six months ago that shows some cartridges sitting in a standard model 70 magazine box that has straight walls from bottom to top and then you can see a picture of the cartridges sitting in a gun that has a modified magazine box and you can see how well the...

The model 70 has feed rails built into the receiver. But, they also have magazine boxes that have different shapes at the top that can influence the cartridges feeding. Sometimes the thickness of the material that the box is made out of can also influence how those cartridges sit in the...

I just recently got a chance to get back on the first.416 Ruger build. I finally got my extractor cutter from PTG and got the extractor cut in and I have purchased quite a few of the different magazine boxes and followers that Winchester used in a variety of their model 70 rifles. It’s unreal...

I have a couple bags of new Winchester brass. I won’t be back home until Thursday night, but I can take a couple pictures then and post them. I also have a brand new set of dies and some bullets. Had plans for a project, but it never happened.
