WOW, More details please.

I purchased the rifle second hand chambered in 270 Win. I had PacNor rebarrel (custom contour) with a 24.5” tube with a long throat for 160-175 gr projectiles, I’ll have to look up the twist rate. Then it was sent to Dennis Olson for NECG sights and swivel barrel band, and rust bluing. The stock I’m certain is English walnut though I don’t know who the original stocker was. I had stock maker Bruce Farman fit the new barreled action to the existing stock and add weight to the forend. Both individuals did a fantastic job.

What a beautiful rifle!

Very nice. To my eye it has a nice balance between 'american' and British styling. Longer forend, but slimmer - helped out in part by that proper 24.5" barrel.

 

[KiwiHunter]

Wow, nice wood, enjoy

Man, that rifle is so beautiful that I want to buy her a sports car and put her up in an apartment for just the two of us! ;-)

I could never hunt with artwork like that but I could hold and just look at it all day!

That's the nice part of taking a gun you can visually enjoy into the woods. Lean it up against a tree on a break and admire it. They're not worth much just sitting at home.

 

[F. Vaccaro]

That is WAY beyond nice.
Congratulations!

Beautiful rifle with elegance and balance. They done come any better than that.

 

[Nevada Mike]

VZ33 - a classic action... for a classic cartridge. Very nice.

 

[Longdrive]

Its a fine rifle, I see why you have the jitters.

@Flewis
Why???? It was made to hunt not hide in a safe. That would be a crying shame.
A bit like owning Bentley to keep in the garage while you dive a Chevy nova. No point.
