Rendezvous 25 Magnum January 18, 2009 06:56PM |

This rifle is almost ready to go out. Rendezvous 25 Magnum.
Just to remind you. Quite a few customers just purchased open ledger slots. "To Be Determined Later". And, quite a few bought multiple slots. That's part of the reason why you often see things going out, that were never on the catalog.
These stocks will get a few more coats of gunstock oil, however; they were mounted to take a look see.
This rifle has quite a variety of power adjustment. Therefore; it can shoot 25 pellets at very mild velocities and be very quiet. Or, it can be turned up, shoot the Barnes 9 ring 84 grain 25 custom slug (Which can be had thru Surefire Casting) ... and we clocked 148+ foot pounds of energy at the Range one day IIRC. It's on the custom slug page. I have to check. We also shot some rounds at 1,300 fps+ Great rifle.

Scott,
Just occured to me ... I never said this part: The hammer stroke can be adjusted without taking it out of the gun ... takes a minute or less (with no tools), and the hammer pre-load spring set can be adjusted by threading off the brass knurled knob (under the barrel), and swapping out a pre-determined spacer (no tools again). Takes another minute.
You've thus changed the entire nature of the gun from relaxed yard shooting, to firebreathing beast. Or, anything in between. And, this thing will really "KRACK!!!!!" when it runs Supersonic.

The Rendezvous .25 Magnum is an awesome gun. It is very light even after putting on a full size scope. The power it can get to is pretty amazing too. 148 FPE from a .25? Ya just don't see THAT everyday. 
Given my experience with the Maverick that has a similar size butt reservoir, I'll bet the Rendezvous can tune down to give a good twenty shots with light slugs or pellets.
The range of adjustability is huge but the real value of this gun doesn't lie in the stats. Just look at it! Nice work Gary.

Thanks Jerry,
I'm glad you like it.
The Maverick is definitely a close cousin of the Rendezvous 25, as Jim's Scout is an Uncle. ;?)
I'm glad I had a can of that "Oak Carving" to spread on there!

This reminds me very much of my Scout 45 . . . I'd guess it's about the same power class too. It also has the "lamb's tongue" and cocks forward (instead of back) like the Scout. Hammer tube is forward and reservoir / intake are aft . . . again, like the Scout.
Oh yeah . . . brass slide breech and "floating receiver" too.
Nice work.

Hi Jim,
I wish we had some more time to help Gary "test" this .25. I was hoping to get some BC data on the .25 slugs and maybe some more groups too. Sadly (for me), this gun will be off to its waiting owner very soon never to be heard from again....

Re: Rendezvous 25 Magnum February 08, 2009 04:34AM |
I can attest to this being one sweet handling and beautiful gun. The sleek metal work and nice lines draws the gun right to the shoulder with the scope aligning with the shooting eye instantly. The same handling characteristics are present in the 45-08 which Gary used so effectively on his gray fox.
Gary has carved a beautiful oak leaf and acorn relief into the forearm and stock. The depth of the carving is unbelievable. The carving throws shadows and reflects the gloss of the wood throughout. The extensive carving is balanced by the clean lines of the metal work, the deep blue by the brass of the wedding bands and breech slider. Well done, and rare!!!
Gary has really outdone himself with the Rondezvous models. The sliding breech simplifies and increases the safety of the loading procedure while lessening the weight considerably over a bolt action design. The angled spring tube allows for the classic drop at the small of the stock.
This gun will eventually span what most on this forum would consider the low and mid power range of the big bores with both 25 and 32 caliber barrels. The high and magnum power ranges will be represented by the 45-08 as it will be outfitted with both a 45 and 58 caliber barrels respectively.
I'll eventually get some more pics of the 25/32 Rondezvous but until then heres the 45-08 in close up.

Customer's decision, as to what they'd like to do. After I spend two hundred hours building the rifle, folks can drop on a five dollar fitting of their choice. 
Personally, I hate the things. Sorry. In 13 years, I've never needed one. Whenever I've seen them used, they were being dropped or rolling off the shooting bench into the dirt (to be put back on the gun in questionable condition). Or, they were stuck in a pocket, to be put back on the gun full of pocket lint.
Sure - you can tie it on a string. If you want to fiddle with the thing every few shots, God bless ya. When I'm filling a gun, I'm holding it in one hand, attaching the quick fill, closing the bleeder, opening the tank valve, watching the gauge, closing the tank valve, bleeding the connection, putting the fill line back, trying not to bang the gun on everything around me. The last thing I need is another fiddly thing to fool with. When the gun isn't in use, it's in it's case.
Lots of personal choices.
Thanks,
Gary

Stock Carving - Finishing Progresses (Comparison Pic Added) March 23, 2009 07:34PM |
|
The stock is "now" ready to go to stock oil and go into the oven.
I spoke to the new owner. We discussed the several ways carvings can be finished. I told him that ... "if it were mine ..." and that was good enough. He asked me to finish it as if it were for myself. Therefore; here goes. The background has been given an antique mossy wash finish - I call "Heather". It yields a more high contrast completed project. Has a neat antique look, up close. Everything will really mellow nicely with the multiple coats of oil and with age. If you like it ... tell the new owner so.
Remember this pic? A few wood chips ago ...
The next few pics, are with the stock sanded, and the background prepared. The last three, are with the start of the stock oil coats.
Here's the background detail, way oversized to show the technique.
Takes a good bit of work, and has to be done correctly so as to not have "hot spots" ... has to blend to the eye.
Now, we start applying the stock oil ...
I'll keep steel wooling, and cleaning between baked in coats of stock oil. It will keep getting more rich as it goes.

Forgot ... it's a satin sheen. Seems most agreeable to traditional stocks.
Sure - it will all mellow together. And, with this background, a "rub" here and there will just blend in. Another degree of finish would be to go in and rub out selective areas. However; you can't go everything all on one gun. And, the trick is to know when it's "complete".

Sure. Heather is not one color. It's a blend of leaves, stems, and flowers, with shadows. It occured to me here, because I didn't like the way "greenish black with speckles and blotches" rolled off the tongue.
Here it is at this point in it's finish cycle. This has about three coats of stock oil on it now. Couple of more ought to do it.
You know .... "Heather".

Once again Gary I've never seen anything like it!!! 
It is really going to "pop" when you set that stainless action in. Of course I like the carvng, but look how the contoured butt plate ties it all together. I hope the new owner will age and blend the stock with lots of shooting and show us some pics along the way. 
I can tell he's a wise collector/patron as he has let the artist exercise his discretion in the details that only decades of experence and experimentation could concieve let alone create.
Great piece of work,
Kent

Glad you liked it.
Hey ... thanks for noticing the buttplate too. I didn't decide upon that until I knew if the customer would appreciate the contrasting background or not. Had he wanted the background natural, I'd have used a butterscotch color for the buttplate.

"artistic freedom"??? No, No, No, you must have misunderstood. I'm sending you the
diagrams, color swatches and a pencil rubbing of an airgun I saw in a lithograph on vacation last year.
Please tell me you haven't started scratching on MY stock!!! All that flowery crap about experimentation is for that other guy, just like my medical school interview where I was going to work in rural Tenn in return for yard eggs and chickens! Just follow the diagrams and match the colors down at Home Depot so I can sleep at night.
No offense intended to all the Tenn farmers reading this.

Hey Bill,
Did you note how a bit of duct seal stops our 58 slugs, Jerry's 62 Woodsman, and Kent's .357 mag.? It's amazing. All ya need is your very own Ballistic Bear ... or Super Gopher. Steel plate behind it for that once in a lifetime chance you'd miss from 20 yards.
Or, you can always stay warm and cozy in the barn, and set your targets outside. The bullets won't mind going out into the cold. hehe.
