I bought a White Stainless Thunderbolt action and stock from an auction site. I sent it to Doc to have the barrel installed and apparently the barrel supplier told him it was available and now is not. He is looking for a suitable barrel for me without going to a custom barrel. I told him I don't need it until May or June to get ready for fall hunt. The 24 inch barrel is available but the 26 is the one in question. I had hoped to make this a long shot rifle so I wanted the extra two inches for the big heavy bullets. along a similar line I found out White makes a slip fit bullet for .500 bore rifles like the Omega. I just ordered and received them but have not had time to shoot them yet. I have to go to a range to shoot (unlike some lucky people that can shoot outside the back door). Forgot to add it is going to be a .504 just to make it legal everywhere. I could use the .451 in Arizona but those barrels are less available than the .504.
