The barrel is actually 24 '' long but the Broughton no. 5 contour is for sure heavier than Lilja or Hart. It started as 25 1/2" but it would not make weight, so I had to cut 1 1/2" from the chamber end, and start over. It now weights 7 lbs. 14 ounces. Oh the Packmyer pad also had to go.
I only had a chance to shoot it at 100 and 200 yds. with consistent 1/2 MOA. I think is a keeper.

But Kitty has the magic Blue pills so he can hold his up longer

I, for one, just loved the custom scope bases with the 11 MOA built in.

How can you resist a setup like that one Mary??? You gotta hit those out of the park.

Come on John, you've known me long enough to know that my mind can come up with some fast ones to that...but on the wrong side of the berm.

So I'm still Innocent

Brother Blau;

Now you'll have to put up or shut up. Bring that Bad Boy out here for a real Grand Slam: chicken, turkey, pig, ram and a real antelope.

We'll see how that works out, since Significant Other, AKA "Kim", thinks I need a job this summer, which would put a crimp in my travel plans. Something about "mortgage" and other such nonsense supposedly more important than getting my butt kicked out of town.

Those are my doing, Marv. The exact quote from Stiller's website is "Standard front Remington bases fit both front and rear mounts". Using their bases simplified that much of the project and helped keep it quiet (yes, that was deliberate.) At least the back half of a drop compensated ring set would be a custom job (maybe just drilling the back one differently, but that's your specialty, not mine), and the toy budget needs a chance to recover first (see "mortgage", above.)

BB...don't worry about the mortgage the big O will see that you don't have to pay that anymore.
