Bullberry legacy custom barrels

[KYODE]

Anyone here have any bullberry barrels?

My first custom barrel was a bullberry yrs ago. It was a 15" 6x47 in matte blue. I foolishly traded or sold out of it….and i can't remember why. Anyway ive long since made up with myself for that with other contenders and barrels lol.
I recently ordered another bullberry barrel. A 15" polished stainless contender barrel in 22k hornet. Its Just a little pip squeak. Not a big long range powerhouse but troy did say he takes gophers out to 300yrds with them.
It will take 6 months to get it, but No biggie. I think it took that long 30+ yrs ago lol.

Have owned several. ALL were shooters including: 17 AH , 25 BB , 7-30 Waters IMP but the only one l have left is a 6.5 BB IMP and I love it. Haven't shot any of the new ones made since Fred retired. I would expect them to be just as good

I have added muzzle brakes to some of the new production ones. They had some of the best welds/work of all the custom barrels.

I had Fred build me a 21 inch rifle barrel in .25 ACP.... Shoots golf balls at 100 yards if you watch the wind.

That grip set is from Otter Grips Named the Grim Reaper by John Cook THE MASTER. John created works of art and is in my opinion one of if not the Greatest Grip maker of all times. It is no longer in my possession but Now belongs to Oldest Grandson (A Contender Nut like Me) It will remain in Our family for generations to come.
Thanks and safe shooting

Doug
Could also use the Grips for defense if you ran out of cartridges or couldn't reload fast enough
Definitely a "Work of Art"!
Thanks for posting picture

I have a Contender chambered in 6.5 Bullberry Improved that is the most accurate Contender that I own.

Three shot group at 100 yards with a 120 grain Nosler BT.

My longest harvest to date was with this barrel at 305 yards.

Great shooting!

All the BullBerry cartridges are based on 30-30 Winchester

Very nice barrel for sure
