Ok guys Im in to this build and thought I'd share a few of the first pictures. I have a lot of metal work and wood work left to do. Lyman receiver sight is mounted and ready to go. Front ring, recoil lug and about two inches of the barrel have been steel bedded. Rear ring has been glass bedded. Front pillar is installed and glassed in. I still have to fit the banded front sight and the Talley barrel band sling mount. I still have to cut about another inch off the forearm and cut it down for the barrel band. The barrel has been cut and crowned at 20".

For the ones who are not fimilar with the .458 Win Mag.

Left to right: .223, .308Win, .270Win, .30-06Springfield, 7mm Rem Mag, .300Win Mag, .350Rem Mag, .348Win Mag and the .458Win Mag


Thats a 24" 12ga Remington 870 and thats not a bull barrel on that rifle!


Donar action (from pawn shop, $125 out the door!) started off an older .300Win Mag with flat reciever and regular trigger.


A full 1/2" diameter pillar glass bedded with a counter sunk bolt head.


Base for the Lyman 57 reciever sight ready for action.

One last thing I have to do before I start working the stock is to drill and bed the crossbolt behind the recoil lug. Give me a few days and I'll post somemore as I get it together.
