I started this rifle nearly two years ago when I found the Unertl scope at a gun show. After buying it, I decided it needed a rifle. I took this picture just before sending it out to Charlie Grace in Colorado for checkering and rust bluing.

I used a Ruger No. 1 action, a Douglas barrel chambered in .222 Rem. and a Kepplinger trigger. The nice piece of Circassian walnut came from a friend. I made pattern stocks and had Charlie pre-carve the walnut to my patterns. Then I did the stock work to the point shown.

Charlie says I will have the gun back shortly. Then I plan to shoot in our local benchrest matches this summer.

I have a ton of pictures showing the process. I will post same if there seems to be some interest.
