I agree! Great-looking rifle, and in my favorite caliber.

If they tell me that a half round 14# will be very close then that might be my best option. If a 34” heavy could get me to 14 pounds then I could have a pound of mercury put in the stock and be good that way also but I’m not sure if a heavy 34” would get to 14 pounds.
Have you heard anymore detail on an upcoming rd or bull barrel run? Bobw

Early in 2025. Maybe right after the holidays, early in 2025. Give or take

Nice Kenny, really nice! A simple question; is the bore on this heavy beast a little tighter than the standard sixteen-pounder, or the same? I would think the same, but just wanted to ask.

I can only tell you it’s tighter than my other two 110s. I have no idea with a 16# bore.
