Whats that pipe with all the holes in it on the end of the barrel for? LOL!
Nice looking rig. But what are the specs? Barrel length, throat length, twist rate, type of rifling, weight, trigger pull, ect...
Your scope looks to be missing dials. What reticle you running?
Rifle loonies want to know!

The barrel is a 26" McGowan 1:9 twist. The trigger pull is set right now at 2.3 lbs. Throat length, no idea yet, I didn't ask. Weight, slightly heavier than it was :tup:. I'll weigh it later.

The scope is a Vx-2 3-9 50mm obj. with a duplex reticle. There are no dials on it but I may be getting a new scope, possibly a CDS dial just added on, for this gun as soon as I can afford one to help unlock the guns potential.

I shot about a box through it today, I had 6 rounds of federal fusion in 150 grain that the gun seemed to like. I also had a new box of Hornady super performance in 139 grain sst and I could not get the gun to group as well 3 shot groups at 1 1/2 inches. I'm hoping that my gun will like at least one of the partitions, accubonds, interbonds, (berger vld :o are they worth it?) in the 160 grain range. I'll be picking some stuff up soon and work up a elk/ black bear load.
