I'll try to get 'em up tonight.
In the mean time, it has AJ parker sights, border barrel, (very accurate)
target stock with rail for single point sling, Can't remember the trigger , but I THINK it's a Timney, all in a match rifle stock - no magazine, set up for single shot.
I believe the twist in the barrel is 1:12.
I simply have TOO MANY match rifles and cannot fathom having more than three in 308!

It started out as a 375 H&H, and was rebored to 450 AI.
Heavy gun, but very acurate ....

Default M88.358wn

I apologize for bringing back such an old thread but I came across this while searching Google.

The rifle in post #14 by "m88.358wn" was built by my grandfather who has since passed away. I was curious if anyone on here knew who "m88.358wn" is or how to possibly get in touch with him, I did send a pm but he has not posted on this forum since 2011. I would greatly appreciate any help,
