Here are some pics of a few of my old mans newest creations.  He just sent me the pics.  I will have to get all the specifics.  I know a couple have Night force scopes.  Most are also wildcats.  He does ALL of his own reloading.  He is a gun freak, all of his guns are set up for consistent groups. When he kills an animal with a gun the gun gets retired. I have never met anyone who is into guns like my dad.  No bullsh**. If you have a question he can probably answer it.  He is just like me though and cant take pics.
1st is stinger long range varmint
2nd old blue mcmillan cz 550
3rd creamsicle mcmillan tolle
4th & 5th black mamba 7mm 378 WBY w night force scope

Very sweet customs, I was unaware that folks were using the CZ action as a platform. I have felt for years CZ's products give great bang for the buck. The last match I went to everything was 600 and 700 based actions. (15 years ago)

Is the 35-378 a wildcat? I have not heard of it. It sounds like a .378Wmag necked down to .35.  "big chunk o lead go very fast"

 I like Ol' Blue  :),  I'll bet she can reach out and touch them! She needs some glass on top though. :P I think I have a 8x32x50 laying around here somewhere.

The  CZ have a single set trigger which really make it a bang for the buck.  
 Yes, they are all wildcats.   The 35-378 is a 338-378 weatherby mag  run through a 35 cal tapered expander in a 378 weatherby die.  Then  fit formed  in the chamber  before loading.  Then once loaded it is fire formed to the chamber.
  ol'blue has a scope now.  Its a Nightforce 3.5x15x50

Nightforce makes some good glass, though 15x seems a bit weak to me for 1000 yard rifle. But then my eyes are terrible and I need all the help I can get. :)

I was just rummaging through my gun stuff looking for a 158 SWC bullet mold and saw the scope I had gathering dust was a 6.5x24 Simmons and not an 8x32, OK for a .22lr but nothing to put on top of a centerfire let alone a belted Magnum. It came from my CZ 452 LUX, I though it was way to big to be on a squirrle rifle so I replaced it with a Leupold 4X Rimfire.
