Hey Mike,

My new rifle tapers to 1.210" at the muzzle, don't know the weight, don't have any scales in the house, but, at 32"s it feels every bit as heavy as my 30" 16lb bull barrel #1 Sporter 45-110.

I'm going to shoot it tonight with the 750gr grease groove hunting load I use in my 11.5lb 50-90 hunting rifle, it fires the bullet at 1365 fps, this new rifle with the longer barrel fires it at 1383 fps with a 9 fps extreme spread, i'll find out at dark thirty tonight if it's going to shoot this load.

After putting this 750gr grease groove bullet through 8 or 9 feet of bedded 1800lb Eland bull i'll never roll paper for my 50's, they're just straight hunting rifles to me.
