Kurt after making the above post I did go down and measure my barrel, because the tulip was cut off so the octagon goes right to the receiver it measures 1.1" and the muzzle is .948". Close enough in my book as to what GM lists. It is not as heavy as my other rifles are and that is quite obvious when you pick it up, however when you hold it off hand it just feel nice. Yes it has a slight muzzle heavy feel but it just feels good and feels like it balances very well. The wood on it is rather plain compared to its safe-mates but pretty don't make it shoot any better. Over the next few weeks I hope to do some more work on the wood and get a good long range sight set up on it. I still haven't made up my mind what sight will set on it. I have a Snover that I have a spare base for but need to drill another hole in it or I could use one of the Parts Unknown sights I have as I have a spare base for that sight also. I think my first choice is the Snover as it is easier to swap back and forth. Pluss the snover is better suited to wiping between shots as the site is offset and folds forward leaving the breach area wide open.
