I would say it was a fun time doing a little shooting and the first time out with this gun. and it was 85 deg out the barrel got good and hot.

plus I ran off and left my front rest and had to try to us what I had to make one and it was not good one.
I would suggest heating that barrel up a few times before shooting in for hunting. I would suggest doing it sabot less if you can. Can't wait to see your results in the future.
If I had one I would replace the stock with a Kevlar stock. Cut 2 inches off the barrel and have it crowned. I would then have the breech plug drilled out 5/32 and tapped for a vent liner. Wow, that seems like a lot of work, but so easy to do at the factory😉
