Hi All,
Those of you who know me and our shop's work know that most of our work revolves around doubles. This is the first full blown custom bolt project that we've taken on. It was a challenge and took me out of my comfort zone but I'm pleased with the final result. The customer provided a Sako L461 in .222 and requested that we create a rifle that looks like a 1930's Griffin and Howe custom. The only variation from that theme was a request for a more open grip. Wood work is all my fault, my partner Ken Waite III handled the metal prep and finishing (except casehardening which was done by Turnbull Restoration and Mfg.). Bob Strosin cut the engraving. The trap buttplate is a Biesen and I "cavitated" the wood behind it to hold the Sako receiver sight. The bottom metal was provided by Duane Wiebe.
Best, Dan
