I would like to share about a custom built 30-06 I commissioned:
Some years back, I decided I wanted to have a properly built rifle that met my specifications for accuracy and reliability. I wanted a rifle built on a classic Mauser action with its controlled round feeding and long claw extractor, yet have the accuracy of a modern rifle.
I wanted a rifle that would shoot ten shots into 1/2 inch at 100 yards, yet not be too heavy to lug around in the field.
I contacted Robert Kleinguenther of Sequin, Texas, USA to discuss my project. Mr Kleinguenther was the main designer of Roy Weatherby, owner of the revolutionary Weatherby Rifles Company and a person highly recommended to me by various friends.
We selected a Mauser 98 action from Whitworth Arms, a British company which still supplies these coveted actions for Best British gun makers such as Holland and Holland, Westley Richards etc, featuring the full length claw extractor and controlled round feeding.
The Barrel is a Douglas Premium well known for its extraordinary accuracy and is in a medium sporter weight
Kleinguenther stocked it with a Brown Precision fiberglass stock designed with steel inserts and pillar bedding for more rigidity in the Classic configuration and fitted it with a Pachmayr White Line Decellerator recoil pad.
He then added his Kleinguenther Distinctive Firearms Muzzle Brake which substantially reduces the recoil of the rifle to less than that of a 243.
I topped the rifle with a Leupold Vari X III Scope in 3 x 9 with a variable Objective and mounted it in hand lapped Redfield Mounts for a perfect zero.
The trigger was worked on to break at a crisp 3 pounds and the safety was made smooth and silent.
The metal work was then finished in a smooth matte finish and the stock in a black stippled matte finish.
I called the rifle Kalloo, reflecting a friendlier name for its all black appearance
Hope you guys enjoy this,
Rahoul
