WHAT GUN IS THIS??

[Signal23]

I would like to know the name of the stock type.

And also, I am guessing this is not just a built up Rem 700, but something a little more rare.

Thanks for the assist.

I have read the book and I think the gave specifics in it.......not sure.

Thanks

Xm3?

My first thought was a Robar SR90, but hard to tell.

 

[Echelon]

I believe I read somewhere his favorite rifles were the McMillan TAC-338 and Remington 700 in .300 Win Mag

The action and ejection port looks like a SA Rem 700 to me, which drove my SR90 comment. The .300 or .338 would be built on a long action. There's also a lot of similarity between the SR90's stock and the one in the photo, but they're not identical.

Could be a Remington 700 XCR LRTAC.

 

[Indy 1911]

I would guess a Rem 700 also

The stock is what throws me off.

Remignton would be $600.-700. base,
McMillan is $8000.

I like the stock, but unsure of the rest of the rifle

maybe its a custom like a surgeon rifle but i thought it was savage at first but i don't see the bolt release on the side of the action but maybe that new fn model 70 tactical( they call something else) they got out now

Looks like a McMillan A5 stock to me, but the multicam and angle make it hard to be 100%

Edit: found this on Armslist, looks pretty close (McMillan A5 stock, Surgeon action)

That's his .308

It's a 700 worked short action in a McMillan A3 I'm not sure who's barrel it is but it's tipped with a surefire QD brake

Badger bottom metal with a NXS on top

My wife is buying me his book tonight. If it is in there, I will post on here.

I bet this is it. An AJ Brown. Chris talked about buying one when he got out of the service. Maybe?........

One is in the classifieds right now.

I just opened his book and he said at least when he was first in Iraq, he carried a .300 WinMag bolt-action. Don't know if that is the same one as the picture. If I read otherwise I will post on here.

The rifle pictured by the OP is a .308 built by George and the boys at GAP. While Mr. Kyle prefered a .300 or .338 there should be no questioning the fact he's holding a short action in this pic.

My sis got me his book some time back. Haven't looked at the first page.
Silly I guess, but with his passing I think I'll wait a little while before I read it.

You are correct. It definitely is consistent with their Gladius model .308.

It's the best military/action book I have ever read, I read it straight through and I NEVER do that.

[Signal23]
