Custom No1 in 500 Nitro Express

[Capt_Oscar]

My baby is finally home. Spectacular wood, custom barrel from SSK Industries (now Leigh Defense), with a rail vice Ruger base. Cerakoted and topped with a Leupold VX-R Scout 1.5-5×33 (Lighted reticle). Full 1" barrel profile for the extra weight.

Nice, though I would have put on some NECG iron sights on it.

My eyes just aren't there for irons anymore... and I'm not a fan of glasses.

Well done on keeping the original stock profile, iconic. As a matter of interest, what does it weigh? Did you put weight in the stock for balance?

11.0# with optic. I'm going to shoot it some and see what I think. It very barrel heavy right now, but I like the feel off shooting sticks. A 1# block weight in the buttstock would balance her out better though.

May I ask why you chose to cerakote it with such beautiful wood?

May I ask why you chose to cerakote it with such beautiful wood?

I went with blue steel for strength, the cerakote is great for a little corrosion resistance. Blue steel is challenging in Hawai'i. Bottom line: I couldn't find an appropriate stainless donor rifle at the right price.
