Thank you! You should absolutly do it.It is a very nice journey and when it fits like a glove in the end it is very rewording.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I am very hapy with how it shoots so far. Keeps everything almost on the same spot at a hundred meters. I did try some 350 gr norma african ph solids also. They shoot 2 inches low but good sideways at a hundred meters so if i keep the others 2 inch high the 350 should be dead on.

300gr barnes solid fn

300gr A-frame

Yes tried out some different bullet weights. 225 gr hornady

His Name is Leif eliasson.

Thank you!

So it is not quite finished,but almost. It still needs to be checkered and some engraving.nothing fancy just 375 H&H on the barrel , serialnumber on the triggergard and 4 cartridges on magazine floorplate. But as i said before we were on a tight schedule before a very special trip to zimbabwe so...

I think before high quality glue the recoil pad had that nib that went in to the wood to make it stay in place.To me it just looks very classic .

Recoilpad with nib.

Thank you!

Begining to see the final shape.

The take down mecanism.

All manual from now on.

Copying the dummy stock.

Stockwork begins.

Thank you! I think it is a classic choise.It is slim and we also neded some lengh to be able to mount it the way we did so the zeiss was perfect becouse it is quite long.

Thank you! If nessesery we will look in to that.

I was considering that for a while, a true take down. But we are trying to copy the 1920 Holland and Holland as much as possible so we decided to go this way insted. But the true take down is very tempting,maby in the future.

Scope fitted.

Thank you! That is the plan.l was also building this rifle with quite a tight schedule with a special hunt in mind. I must say that my gunsmith was just as committed and realy worked hard to make it happend.

We put alot of effort in to making the stock to my personal measurements.

No my gunsmith does all the work,l am just very committed.

Rear pivot base before final shaping and soldering.

Thank you for the advice. We will be very carefull with the layout, the ide' of this build is a strong "working rifle"

Thank you!

Iron sight and pivot base for mounting a scope.

Quarter rib

I bought the barrel as a blank together with the drawings for Hollands early century profil from Lothar walter, then sent it for profiling in sweden.

So the action is a husqvarna.The bottom metal is blackburn.The barrel is a Lothar walter .

Yes exactly.

The action we (my gunsmith and i) choose is a husqvarna 146 wich is a true 98 made by FN in 1937,since i am from sweden it felt like a fitting choise.

I is going to be a stock takedown for easier travel.

375H&H

As stated in the headline- i was bidding on a Holland on holts auction earlyer this year.It whent over budget so i decided to try to replicate as close as possible. Just wanted to share with you guys.
