I have just been wondering what kind of awesome builds y'all have done on your rifles. I plan to do one soon and wanted to brainstorm, thought this was the best way, knowing some of y'all have made some pretty sick guns. Please post a pic of your gun and also include model, scope (brand&specs) and everything you have done to it. Looking forward to seeing your setups...

Hunt with several different rifles but two of my favorites plus the AR

Dakota Little Sharps 38-55



Marlin 1894 in 357 Mag



The 6.5 Grendel AR does see a little action

Thanks, as much as I love hunting with it, I do not as often as I would like to. Would hate to scratch up bastogne walnut stocks. even with my 50 year old eyes shooting 2 inch groups at 100 yards is easy to do with it.

that was a bucket list gun for me, that I never thought I would own. Then found this one used at a gun show, bought it and never regretted that decision

not much on the surface but this rifle has the barrel floated, action bedded, trigger job done and a sweet sling.

It's my favorite gun in my collection

Top: Rem 700ltr in .308
Bottom: Rem 700? in 7mag

Only use the .308 - inherited the 7mag and need to clean it and get a new trigger.

Go bad after 30 years??? It was given to me in 1984 from my great uncle and we have no idea how long he had it before that. No telling how old it is but it is still bad enough to drop game in their tracks. Expecting scope to go out any day and that will be one sad sad day

My Remington 700BDL SPS .270 is my everyday hunting rifle. H-S Precision Stock, Jewell Trigger set at 2 lbs, Zeiss Conquest 6.5x20 Scope.

My Remington 700BDL action on a custom build .280 that I use mainly for Mule Deer hunts. Master Series build by Rifles Inc. with a Remington BBL action, Jewell Trigger set a 2 lbs, McMillan Master's stock, barrel is match grade stainless steel Lilja #5 and scope is Swaro Z-6 5x30. I got higher power scope to use in West Texas when walk/stalk hunting Mule Deer. The barrel has a teflon matte finish to match the action.
