A Custom built 350 Rem Mag - Leonard Mews Mannlicher Stock

I recently purchased this nice Custom rifle from a seller on a classified forum. It appears the Douglas barrel and metal-work was done by PD Cain in Dec. 1966 as marked "Douglas Barrel by PD Cain 122966", but the stock / checkering was gone by Leonard Mews. I found Leonard's a very light stamp in the barrel channel - now enhanced with some dark stain. The seller's description tells all. A field test will follow next week.

as always, your comments are most welcome :D

Looks absolutely sweet for an 80-ish year old action refurbished 50 years ago. A real gorgeous safe queen built by someone who rea;;y knew what they were doing! You hit a gold mine
 
I agree - it would look better with iron sights, but maybe the original owner was like me - 73 year old eyes - that can't see irons - and would rather have a scope.
 
Brass is hard to get , Redding make a form & trim die, its easily made out of 7 MM Rem mag brass, form trim, & anneal & you are ready to go. 200 & 220 grain bullets work well , Speer & Hornady is what i use. A short magnum from the early 1960s.

Interesting looking 03. Nice work, wonder why they didn't include irons.

You may not use them but they make that rifle look so much better. Just a very classic classy style. Nice job!!!
 
I hope to have a field report soon.

I think I would stick with the 225 grain load.

This is a sporterized 03-A3 so the mag box is 30-06 length and all the heavy bullets fit just fine. Even the 275 & 300 grain Hawk bullets fit and feed in this rifle, and because it has a deep-throated chamber, I can seat the bullets far-out , and get more powder in the case.

Hello,

I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any additional pics of the .416 Rem mag?

Thank you.

Hello, I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any other left hand rifles you may let go of? Also can you send a few additional pics of Borden rifle?

Thank you.
