BASS Report post Posted May 9, 2008 That looks pretty sweet! Who built it for you? I'd almost be scared to take a rifle like that out to the hills to get all scratched up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted May 9, 2008 Do I get to brag??? Gun was built by Willie, he put it together for his little brother who happens to be bigger than all of us. Lil'Y is graduating from high school this year and we decided to build him a gun that would fit his arms and his big mellon. We could never figure out why he had such a hard time finding things in a scope until we did the "duh", he is bigger than the rest of us, full head bigger. Anyway, Willie did a nice job on it, we shot it a couple of weekends ago and had a blast shooting Lil'Y's gun without him being around. We built several loads and found one of the powders 4831 seemed to group a little better than the others. Nice looking gun Willie....course.....I am biased.....Lil'Y is going to put a bunch of scratches on that gun, you and I both know that, but he is going to be one proud kid to have a gun built by big brother........can't wait to help him put something down with that gun. Which only means that we better go shoot it a few more times just to make sure it is on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Benbrown Report post Posted May 10, 2008 Awesome! Some of the most fun that I have had lately is building rifles for three of my grandsons who have been content to shoot the rifles that I gave them when they turned twelve. The oldest is a freshman in college and the youngest will be a sophomore in high school this year. Lots more gratifying than cooking up another custom rifle for grandpa!

kwp Report post Posted May 12, 2008 Good looking gun. Just curious, if he is that big of a guy, then why did you put a muzzlebreak on a .270? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted May 12, 2008 It isn't that Lil'Y is that big, we are all that small ....genetics.......plus Lil'Y is physically challenged so we tried to make the gun light and take as much pop out of it as we possibly could........
