Craig drove up from TN. to attend the Kentucky Challeng fall shoot and to pick up his new rifle I had just finished a week or so before the shoot.. The rifle was built using a Remington 700 short action, Boyd's dark pepper laminated wood thumbhole stock and a Brux barrel. The rifle has a muzzle brake and thread protector and comes with a ram rod and barrel band.. The barreled action was cerakoted using graphite black. Craig sent me the scope to be mounted on it.. It is a Ziess Hensolt... One of the nicest scopes I've seen.. Very clear, and accurate turrents. I was able to sight this rifle in before the shoot and I produced several good groups with it. Craig did very well at the shoot finishing in Second place with a brand new rifle he had fired only one shot from only minutes before the competition started.. Not to mention Craig was recovering from spinal surgery he had just had done... Here's a picture of Craig's rifle along with several groups I shot with it the day I sighted it in..  Jeff |

Nice again. Craig seemed like a very nice humble young man. It was a pleasure to meet him

That was great shooting by Craig especially with a brand new gun.

Craig picked his rifle up the day of the shoot and shot bug holes in the match. Hankins Custom Muzzleloaders flat out shoot!!! Awesome trigger control Craig!!! Congratulations and hope to see you at the next shoot with some Iowa Whitetail pictures.

A good gun like that takes a good trigger puller to shoot as well as he did.

Deadeye Don,
The only thing that will remove the smile from your face when you get your rifle from Jeff Hankins is plastic surgery!!! You will be pleased. Jeff is a busy man and makes awesome products. Take it from one of many who owns one..... It is worth the wait!!!!

rlp10ml,
I gather that Jeff is building a Hankins Smokeless Muzzleloader for you as well. You better check on a two for one special at the plastic surgery clinic. These muzzleloaders shoot guys!!!! Congratulations in advance to you both!! Bring them to the next Kentucky Challenge in the spring. It's a great learning experience and a fun time.

Yes Kyle,Jeff is putting together a barreled action for me.I sent him a Remmy Short Action and just anxiously waiting for it to come back so I can put my stock and scope,etc. on it.I want to shoot the 275MH's and want to try H4198 powder seeing I have a bunch of it from my other guns..I would love to make it to one of the shoots some day and see what I can do against all you Pros!!! And YES,Hankins guns obviously do shoot!!!! ----- Rich |
