.338 Lapua mag build

[PEI Rob]

My hunting buddy begged me to make him a rifle, here it is. Stevens 200 LA turned into a .338 Lapua mag with early Timberwolf mag and bottom metal. Gaillard barrel, Holland brake, Farrel base, TPS rings, Falcon Menace, Kydex cheekpiece I made, my freehanded bolt knob and a quality custom stock. It shoots good enough to win in F Class [edit - if it were allowed, it shot informally along with us] with 225 accubonds, he was one point behind me at 600. I had a tattoo artist paint it, his first rifle job. Overall I'm very happy with his paint job but I failed to tell him it was important to paint the rings, sear, trigger and cheekpiece bolts which didn't get the first coat of Ceracoat. I waited forever to get this painted, until I found this guy then it was no problem.

Nice job.

Where did you get the early T'wolf mag and bottom metal? Steve/Ross?

 

[PEI Rob]

Yes. Its in reality a HS Precision bottom metal. It took some serious reworking to get it properly pillar bedded, I used steel pillars. The entire bottom metal is epoxied in for greater strength to the system and stock. The 5rd mag is unmodified and removable by using the release lever between the mag and trigger guard. And I have another just like it
