Some info:
Made from a solid piece of metal, the gun weights about 150lbs and is about 5'10 tall. There is more info about the actual gun in the blog post. I don't have a lot of actual info on the gun, because when I did the shoot(i'm the photographer) I didn't know much about guns and didn't know what info people would be interested in(like what trigger, scope, barrle twist, ect..) but I am friends with the owner so if you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll ask him.
Custom action, built by Klaus Horstkamp at State Arms.
The stock was cut from A36 steel plate, 1 3/4" thick. I drew up the basic design in Auto CAD and we transfered it to the burn table and let the torch & computer do the work.
State Arms Model T-37, 45" barrel by K&P, target crown, 1 in 10 twist, 140 lbs, 3 lb trigger pull. Scope is a U.S Optics SN-1 42 X 88mm
We did some math and couldn't figure out how that thing could weight 150lbs, I think 70 was what we calculated. But who knows...
