Could definitely be the example for the last deer rifle a guy would need in Texas.

That is a phenomenal build!

Nice bank stick CB and I agree, that 85 grain SHBT is wicked on game and very accurate.

Makes me want to pull my old 788 out and load some 85's in it.

Love it!

Beautiful rifle Blake. So I guess that means you are sold on cf barrels? I’m still trying to talk myself into one.

Honestly, I don’t have enough shooting time behind this rifle to say “yes or no” on CF barrels. ABS barrels are no longer made so it’s a catch-22 for me ... if this barrel shoots one-hole I can’t buy a duplicate ABS barrel. If accuracy sucks or there’s a defect in the barrel or CF I have no recourse for replacement. Since I bought this rifle used, I’ll expirament with some more range time and field use to base my future buying opinion.

Pretty much all of my custom rifles are single-shot with Sendero or larger barrel contours, weighing 10.5 to 12 lbs with optics. I’ve owned most of the top barrel brands: HART, Shilen, Krieger, Bartlein, PacNor, HART, Lilja, etc... and have no problem shooting heavy rifles. Based on physics, a heavier rifle will shoot smaller groups than a lighter rifle.

If I had to choose between a CF barrel ($725) and a select match grade stainless steel barrel ($350), I’d buy the stainless barrel all day long because of the price difference and already proven accuracy.
