Mauser 98 Take Down Rifle
This rifle is built with two barrels and fore ends. One is in 25-06 Rem. and the other in .338-06 Ackley Imp. We use Shilen stainless match quality barrels, fluted to reduce weight. A Gentry 3 position Mod. 70 style shroud safety is installed, as well as a Timney trigger. The action is precision ground and squared. Black ceramic coat is applied to all metal. Jeweled bolt body. Tally Q.D. rings and bases for a Leupold 3.5-10x Matte scope for the 25-06 Rem. and a Leupold 1.5-5x Matte scope for the .338-06 Ackley Imp.

The stock is a beautiful piece of fiddle back maple blank from Cecil Freidi. All three pieces of wood came from the same blank. The stock is in the classic style with shadow line check piece and point pattern checkering. All work is done in house. It is finished with a decelerator recoil pad, Talley swivel bases, ebony tips and Brownell grip cap.

This rifle shoots hand loads with 110 Nosler Accu-Bond in the 25-06 under 1/2" and 210 Nosler Prt. in the .338-06 under 7/8".

It is shipped in a Cabela's "Bullet Proof" aluminum case, 32" x 15" x 4" for safety and ease of transporting.

 
 

Randy's Custom Rifles are top of the line rifles, built to exacting standards, tight tolerances and extensive testing. This individual attention to each facet of each custom order places the finished product far above the average store bought rifle. As a result he has many repeat customers. One has even had over 20 custom rifles made by Randy in the last two decades.

Randy has been a gunsmith and tool and die maker, machinist for 38 years. He has a strong work ethic backed by the learning experience from many of the top experts in the field over the years, a formal education with an Associates Degree in Applied Sciences with a major in Gun Smithing and a lifetime experience hunting using the rifles he has built. He has also been on many hunts where rifles he has built have been used to successfully bring down big game with one shot. He prides himself on the accuracy and durability of his rifles, while maintaining a very pleasing aesthetic look.

A custom firearm is a life long investment and will be a pleasure to use and to pass on as an heirloom someday. Randy works with each client to come up with the exact rifle needed to meet the needs, desires, performance for an individual fit. All rifles are finished, in and out, to the highest standard, with custom checkering, done on site. Depending on the desires of the client a custom hard wood, or composite stock will be custom built for a "hand in glove" fit, or a top of the line fiberglass stock can be used for those wishing to go that way, with custom detailing and modifying to suit the particular needs of each client.

While most rifles will shoot 1/2" or better groups, others may not, but will shoot under 7/8". This is more because of the components chosen than the accuracy of the rifle, in bullets most particularly. As in any situation, there are manufacturing tolerances and while the rifle is up to it, the tolerance of some bullets may not be. That is why we find that a good discussion of the type of components you expect to use, and our recommendations is a very good starting point for the basis of a very accurate custom rifle.

We feel this shop is unique because of the experience I bring to each custom rifle. Not only do I have extensive experience in building custom rifles, but because of my training with Les Bowman and all of my own work and data, we can offer custom work up loads to give optimal performance. Further, Randy's experience and training in the field of tool and die making, machinist bring qualifications not found in many shops. He is also experienced in engineering and design.
