[QUOTE="mauserhouser, post: 545085, member: 36692"] when i built mine i used a 26 3/4" Shilen #4 for some flat western hunting hogs,deer etc. i had a heck of a time with that barrel. it wouldn't group till i had 3 down the tube and after 9 the groups would open up. i always blamed it on a tight barrel and it's an 8 groove Shilen and i have only seen 6 grooved barrels from them for a long time now!!! after a while it settled in and shoots great. with 55-56 gr. of RL-22 and 162 Hornady BTSPs and Fed 210 primers it shoots around 2850 as i remember and shoots 1/2" with no problems and also likes the 160 gr. Speer Mag-Tips too. it's on a Interarms Whitworth action and a Richards micro-fit AAA stock. i have taken Hogs at Tejon Ranch with it at 582 yrds. 423 yrds. 350 yrds and 250 yrds. great gun i just built a lighter version for use here in Orygun with a SS 22" Pac-Nor 5 groove barrel and Interarms MKx action and another Richards stock we will see how she does soon i am right in the middle of building a new gunsmithing shop and have been too busy to get out and shoot it.
