[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1481276, member: 87243"] This rifle is built on a 1913 eddystone enfield, put together by a german gunsmith that worked in Utah named Fraunz Bryner, he was a gunsmith for Weatherby for nearly 30 years I believe, then retired and ran his own business. 25.5" douglas barrel, with a 1:10 twist that my dad traded a friend one of his hand made knives for (the tighter twist because the original intention for the barrel was heavy monos), and I fitted and did a hand rub oil finish to the Richards Microfit stock for my father and bedded it, and it is quite a shooter. He isn't really interested in trying any heavier bullets, 225's are plenty for close elk. Je will draw a moose tag either this year or next, and if someone in the family is ever lucky enough to draw a grizzly tag here in Wyoming, perhaps we may try the 250's. But after talking with him, right now he is using 57.2 grains of Varget and getting right at 2850 fps with the Sierra, and the brass has 4 firings on it I believe, counting the initial fireform.
