Very nice RR. What twist did you decide on? Joel Russo stock, right?

A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.
What bullet you planning to shoot? Did you end up using a mini-mauser action?

yep, bought a left handed mini-mauser action,planning on shooting 35 gr bergers and 39 gr sierra's, will give the 40's a whirl but have heard some 12's run them well and some dont.
barrel is a #5 1/2 contour hart (button rifled) finished at 26" so the extra length will help with the 40's.

Jeep, nope, montour county rifles is building this one, the guys name is Kevin Kram, used to be the head machinist at Hart, and went out on his own, a helluva smith from what I've been told, will let ya know!

Kevin does some nice work. The next one you have built try Eric Springman. Check the winners list at Williamsport. You'll see he has chambered a fair share of the winning rifles. He just put together a 6BR for me. It works very well. There is a groundhog match outside of Johnstown. You should come up the the Championship match. South Fork Rifle Club. It was a pretty good time last year. Biggest issue is there are no sighters. Know the POI at 1,3 and 500 yards. They give a fair amount of prizes away. Darn near makes it a $40 rafle drawing that you can shoot at.
new rifle on the way
