Two newly assembled actions in the shop.



Both, bolt action 87 calibers



One of the actions in it's unfinished stock. (The duct tape barrel clamp is optional!)

I'll get some field time in this weekend.

Sweet . . . I can see the targets a flyin' already. You need to put a quarter or something next to the bolt to illustrate just how big those puppies really are.

Someone's getting a nice toy soon . . .

Cool!

Is one of these the action we saw in a earlier post? Jealous now.....

didnt even notice the duct tape....

What's the length of the assembled rifle?

Differences between the two? I see one has a brass cocking stud . . . aluminum on the other? Looks like both have Weaver rails too. What else am I missing?

Jim/Dan

Different internals. Different power ranges. One's a Justice - one a Tundra model (insert later).

The Tundra will be inside 52". The Justice has a optional +5" to the normal Justice barrel length. It will be a couple of inches longer than the Tundra model.

They are both beasts. Tundra has a two stage trigger, and wears walnut. It will be blued and anodized.

This is a very nice Justice made with the new innovations developed since the last few were made. It will also feature an applied "twilight camo" cosmetic finish.

OK . . . I'm confused. Are they both .87, or just the Justice? And are they both smoothys? I'm assuming the Tundra is not. If I understand correctly, one is an .87 with a rifled Tundra insert being added latyer on, to be styled like a Tundra bench rifle. Hmmmmm . . .

-- Jim

Both 87's. Both smooth.

This Tundra will have the ability to launch huge lead, and also accept riflled inserts of various caliber. In this way, it will be even more unique.

Won't just be "styled like". It will be a Tundra Magnum. My smooth bore guns have proven themselves to the point where this smooth bench gun is valid, and a nice ... say ... 45 insert will be a sweet addition.

Gary

"Twilight Camo"?

got an example? Sounds cool......

Hello Dan,

Sorry - I missed this post.

Twilight Camo. I've had the pattern and colors in my head for years. Never had the opportunity to apply it. A combination of matte black, smoky blue, deep crimson, and with a highlight of teal.

I'll apply the finish as soon as I get the action tuned to my satisfaction.

Thanks for asking.

Gary

Very impressive gun! I love the big .87 bore, I don't know why, but I'm in love with the really big caliber bigbore airguns. And the .87 projectile is really BIG! Anything gets hit with it will GO down he..he.. Thanks for the pictures Gary!

I love that long barreled Justice; it sure looks as powerful as it surely is. would that extra 5 inches cause some additional power too (or is it mainly cosmetic thing)?

Impatiently waiting to see and read about field testing.

Tantalising Gary!
Looking forward to seeing the finished article, and like sepeteus, waiting for the field testing...
And how's that Grizzly coming along??

The duct tape, I special ordered that. It didn't come in the twilight camo, so Gary is going to paint it to. Dory

Be careful what you wish for!

I believe, I will be protected by the Barnes perfection rule.. Dory
