I bought it used from a member here, it needed some work. This one is not a show piece it's a shooter, has a couple of marks on the barrel and a couple of marks on the stock, but it looks fine to me as a shooter or hunting rifle.
I stripped it clean, honed the tube out and made a custom guide and top hat for the factory spring, which has 4 coils removed. Spring ends were closed and polished. It shoots around 11+ ft lbs with a 8.44 badacuda 8 doing 761fps sd 1.8 es 6.2, or with QYS 8.48 doing 769fps sd 3.0 es 9.1.
The trigger has been polished, the adjustment screw was cut down so it doesn't show. I made steel posts for the front stock screws to try and center up the action in the stock, not perfect but much better than it was. The whole thing is lubed with Krytox, except the trigger which I used remoil.
Everything was deburred and polished, the piston was buttoned at the rear and has the factory piston seal. The barrel was re-crowned.
Here is some 20 yard groups with the gun resting on my hand, and my hand on top of the front bag. The lower right target with vertical stringing was shot off the bags, which it didn't like.
$375 shipped with UPS and tracking. I'll take check, money order or cash. Gun will ship with tracking info once I have the money or cleared check. Lower 48 only, and where allowed to ship.
If you need more pics or questions DM me. Thanks.
