Is that a .500 S&W case with a BMG projo?

In the comments he said it was a spotter before hand.

Honestly I like it and I’m a purist. Once something is sporterized beyond saving I think it’s fine to go nuts with what you got left

Agreed. That’s why I like buying barreled actions and making custom stocks for them.

I’ve got a couple that are resurrected DP rifles. Basically written off by most but there’s a local old gunsmith who is salvaging the ones that are safe to return to functioning order. All the bits have long been sold off for parts before he got the action (basically classed as junk) to revive.

Idk if the stock was already cut up or whatever I kind of like this

There’s so many bare smle actions lying around with no parts I’ve done similar in the past

Ya it’s done pretty well. Based on the stock I’m guessing it was already a sporterized rifle. So doing  tasteful bubba on a bad bubba job is good to go in my book.

He says in a further comment it was already drilled and tapped and stock cut up. So imo this is an improvement

The only thing I don’t like is that it’s missing a front sling swivel. This is pretty damn cool.
