Thought you Surgeon fans would like to see a little twist I added to the action.

Robert Gradous has sent many pics thru out my build & decided to post the one I got today....

Watcha think?

Why do that? Looks? Weight reduction? Both? Just curious...

looks good man, not really for a tactical build in my mind, but for a creative benchrest rifle!

Not my cup of tea, but hey, whatever work for ya.

Dont think I would have done it either, but nothing wrong with being different. Are you going to have it coated or leave it bare metal?

Hey that would definitely be different and if the looks of that floats your boat, cool. Not really a direction I will go with one of my actions any time soon, though.

Its definitely unique.

Many reasons we all like to build customs, and cosmetics {flutes,colors,ect} is one IMO.
Thanks for looking.

Nice link!!! Make sure to post pics of this bad boy when finished - anxious to see how it looks all done up.

I like it!!! Aesthetically pleasing and the end result will be lighter weight.

I like it. That, in my opinion is what a "custom rifle" is all about. Having it done the way you want it. Looks sweet man!

Re: Surgeon RSR with a different twist. pic

Nothing wrong with that IMO. It's your rifle, make how you want it to look. Bet it looks damn fine when it is finished.

Looks like what ever you were hunting got alittle too close !

If you like it then roll with it . Thats all that matters anyhow .

Re: Surgeon RSR with a different twist. pic

I like it.

And I always like it when someone isn't afraid to be different.

I spoke with a couple hand engravers, but they did not seem interested unless I gave them a blank check. It will look good once completed and will post pics.
