Pre-lock, forged 8 3/8" 617-1...this was my lone purchase from the last Wanenmacher show. She came with a set of factory Hogues so I ended up ordering three sets of Altamont targets and installed them on this gun as well as my 4" 617-6 and 4" 686-6.
This gun has been posted before, but with different grips and a couple different optics.
Very nice 617s! I may have to get one of those yet. Here's my latest Wanenmacher find: Anschutz 1712.

Pearl's CZ-455 Varmint Evolution in .22LR.
My .17 HMR with new stock and scope mounted.
I decided to step away from Walnut this time. This is dyed laminate called Silverblack from Altamont. Feels very good.
My two latest acquisitions. The 617 is new. The 9422 is a 1975 edition.
Did a little more work to the 10/22...
Before
After
Parts list:
Volquartsen Ultralite barrel
Volquartsen 32 hole stainless comp
8 MOA C-More SlideRide
Allchin C-More mount
Kidd charging handle and guide rod assembly
Kidd buffer
Ruger extended magazine release
I still need to purchase a Kidd trigger kit. The stock target trigger in the VLEH model is not half bad. It's capable of split times in the 0.14 neighborhood and I'm sure that someone could still run it quite a bit faster than I am able to. The VQ barrel drastically improved the weight of the rifle. It was over 7lbs with optic before...it's now weighing in at 4 lbs 1 oz.
