SOLD —— Citrus .257 ——SOLD
This unique, high power, accurate, and beautiful Custom .257 Citrus air rifle is up for sale. I’ll probably regret letting it go, but my priorities have changed.
Custom Build by Mike Kobel of Citrus Airguns. Beautiful custom handmade walnut stock was designed and created by John Bowman. John is the son-in-law of Jack Haley, the greater of the .257 Haley Scandalous. John has shot this rifle and proclaims it a winner.
There is nothing generic about this exotic rifle, and you can go to a range or competition and no one else will have an air rifle quite like this.
I am the second owner, and have taken exceptional care of this extraordinary airgun. It holds air, and makes 180 FPE at 3600 psi with 72 grain 257420 bullets. You can shoot up to about 85 grain bullets and maintain accuracy, with it’s 1:14 TJ’s polished hammer forged chrome-moly steel barrel. The bore is shiny and is resistant to fouling since I lube the barrel and pc coated and uncoated bullets with 10 weight silicone RC Shock Oil. After a day of shooting, run 2-4 patches through the barrel and you are done.

Extras:

Performance:
All .72 grain pure lead cast bullets sized to .257.

2. 3300psi fill 1030fps = 169 fpe
3. 3600 psi fill 1056psi = 178 fpe
Notes:
From Mike Kobel (the designer and builder):
The gun has a 1 in 14 twist. Heavier than 85gr bullets will not stabilize. It was set up for a 3600 psi fill but 3300 will work, but you will need that little bit more pressure to shoot groups at 200 plus. I shot once at Bowmans house and shot 7 shots at 250 yards and got a 3/4 inch group. Gun was shooting 74 gr bullets at 1177fps.
