It's home...

I really like this feature...

Here's what it is...for those who didn't know...

The Cerra Coating turned out great...Wayne was nice enough to send it on to me early so I can take it on my upcoming Bear/Deer hunt with nomosendaro next week...He'll be doing the scope rail and steel forend spacer in the coating as well...His work is simply awsome...I'll be headed to the range this Friday with it...opps...I almopst forgot...this complete rifle...

Mighty fine looking firearm there Mac, I'd be proud to own it in case you ever decide to part with it, or just put me in your will!!

I like the color of the laminated wood. What is the name of that wood laminate?

Are you going to have the scope and scope base done in the same finish?

Mac11700 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 08, 2006, 08:43:23 AM »

Thanks...

I think I've parted with enough of them already...but I'll keep ya in mind...

Can't wait to see how she shoots...

Fred...

They are called..." Royal Jacks"...and yes and no...the scope will remain as is for now...and after the holidays.....it will be getting a Ziess on it..... The rings base and steel forend spacer will get Cerra Coated after hunting season...Wayne has other colors available I know he does black...and green...and this color...which he calls muddy brown...and he might have other colors available to him for those wanting something a little different

Dave, it's Mac's long awaited and dreamed about .270 Winchester from a 26" .25-06 Ultra barrel.

knight0334 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 08, 2006, 10:17:48 AM »

The coloring of that cerra-coat has an "patina" look to it. We have an old, really old(1800s), rifle out at the farm that has the same color to it.

CelticCross · « **Reply #14 on:** November 08, 2006, 10:27:48 AM »

Very nice. Where do you get a metal forend spacer? Mine is plastic. Any info on this?

Thanks,
Ryan

Cknerr · « **Reply #15 on:** November 08, 2006, 10:42:52 AM »

Mac,

you need to take your gunsmith aside and ask him to tighten up the screws on that butt plate. It is about to fall off of the rifle in that 2nd picture...in case you didn't notice.

Mighty fine lookin shootin' iron in spite of the loose butt plate. 270 is my favorite caliber (got 2 of them). There won't be any excuse not to connect on your hunt.

yup, I'm a bit envious.

Take care,
Chris

H&R used to sell them, but the latest word is they may no longer offer them, info on them is in the FAQ and Help sticky that you must not have read!!

Where did you get the Royal Jacks stock wood?

quickdtoo · « **Reply #18 on:** November 08, 2006, 01:07:51 PM »

He got em the same place we got the gray laminates, from H&R before they were out of em.

Be careful when you shoot her she is so sharp she just might cut you.

nomosendero · « **Reply #20 on:** November 08, 2006, 05:28:19 PM »

Man, that is a fine looking rifle!!! I hope we don't see other hunters next week at all, but if we do I
bet they will not be carrying a rifle just like that!

Outstanding!!!!

Mac11700 · « **Reply #21 on:** November 08, 2006, 07:08:43 PM »

Thanks Guys...I have been waitng a very long time to have another 26" 270 "long"...My first was a Winchester model 70 270 Westerner...and it was a joy to shoot and is what sold me on a 26" 270 rebore/rechamber.....I have a very good feeling on this one...and hope it does as well as the Winny did...Friday will tell...Fusions are on the ticket..as are some 130&150 Nosler BT's...along with some 160 grain partitions...My hat is off to Mr York...he produced another superb rifle for me again...Thanks Wayne...you did good

Beautiful rifle Mac ..waiting on the range report..

Hey Mac

How ya been? That is certainly one beautiful gun! Congrats on finally getting all you've wanted in a Handi. I like the buttplate and pad too. Here's an idea you might consider for those stocks. I got a set of Cinn Lams from Big Blue a while back that are as pretty a set as I have ever seen. What he had done is put several applications of tung oil on them and then sealed them with Butcher's amber floor wax. It seals the inside of the stocks as well as really shining them up, no kidding , mine are absolutely beautiful. Would be a great touch to great looking rifle.
Best to ya buddy on the upcoming hunt, just don't drop it or scratch it now

Thanks John...

It's been a long wait to get it ...that's for sure...Your's sounds real nice...and would like to see them sometime...I'm hoping to be down your way sometime in the spring and try busting one of those big ole OK hogs...Hopefully have this all done by that time...and let you and Digger see it and shoot it first hand.....I'll be going a little different on the stocks though...I really like these and the way they look... but have been wanting to find a source for excellent finished gunstocks for our Handi's for some time...something that most folks can afford..and not have to finish yourself...I think I have...and am going to be making a road trip after the New Year......Hopefully in a couple months... it's going to have a real special custom stock set ...That's all on that for a little while...Were still getting some of the paticulars worked out...however I think things are going to work out just fine and should benifit all here...

Mac'

very interesting rendition of a 'Handi' ! i hope she shoots fast, hard, and accurate.......

if you have an accuracy problem because of the rebore i'd like to suggest you try some of those relatively thin-jacketed Sierra's. i suspect that where a rifle has a bore that is not consistent in its diameter from one end to another that those thinner jackets would help with accuracy.

i hope you get great results and great harvests with her!

take care, Mac'

quickdtoo · « **Reply #26 on:** November 09, 2006, 01:45:15 PM »

I seriously doubt Wayne's 6 groove cut rifling has any bore inconsistencies to worry about, both of mine are super accurate as is Mac's .338-06A-Square!!

Tim

safetysheriff · « **Reply #27 on:** November 09, 2006, 02:30:17 PM »

Quick'

that's probably the best way to rifle a barrel for accuracy and longevity if the deep-hole drilling/metallurgy/etc has been done properly. i can understand how you've had good results so far if that's the case.

take care,

ss'

Wayne, should you be looking, you did an exellent job. Your reputation on this site is second to none.

Enjoy!
