One of Dave Huff's Mausers. This rifle was built on a VZ-24 with a Douglas 28 inch med/hvy contour. It's chambered in 25-06 and is set in a grade 5F Black Walnut thumbhole from the Harry Lawson Co. The floorplate was replaced with a Parker Hale aluminum trapdoor, the shroud was replaced with a streamlined shroud like those found on the Mark X's. I installed a Timney Featherweight Deluxe trigger. I used Weaver bases and Burris Zee rings with a Leupold Vari X 3 8.5x25 scope. It too shoots sub 1/4 MOA 3 shot @ 100 yards.

Another rifle from Dave Huff. This rifle is built on a VZ-24 action with a 28 inch stainless Douglas barrel with a muzzle diameter of .825" It's chambered in 6mil-06. The barreled action is set in an Exhibition English Walnut thumbhole stock from the Harry Lawson Co, in Tuscon AZ. It has Leupold base and rings with a Leupold 6x18 Vari X 2 scope. Timney Featherweight Deluxe trigger on it and a streamlined bolt shroud. I customized a military floorplate by welding in the lock screw holes, conturing the triggerguard and refinished using Brownells stainless Teflon / Moly baking laquer. The gun tops out at about 15 pounds, and shoots sub 1/4 MOA 3 shot @ 100 yards. Velocities are pushing the 4800 fps mark. Note the rifle is called the "Crown Jewel" due to the action, bolt and extractor being jeweled

These are two Of Dave Huffs Interarms Mark X's that he built up as prototype walking rifles. The coffee color stocked rifle is chambered in 22-250 Ackley Improved, with a 22 inch featherweight barrel. It uses a Timney Featherweight Deluxe trigger. No accuracy testing has been done yet, due to it is the dead of winter in his area.
The second in the midnight stocked rifle is chambered in 30-06 also with a 22 inch featherweight barrel. It has a Bold Optima trigger.
Both feature a Fajen Ace Varminter benchrest stock that has been skeletonized as much as possible to reduce weight. Both right now weigh around 5 pounds minus scope. Both are very pleasent to shoot, Dave says he's shot them several times to test the stocks for strength, and they are holding up fine.
