Nice groups and one wicked looking gun!
Having the two barrel option is awesome. Can't wait to see what she'll do @100yds with the 700mm barrel.
Keep us posted.

Beautiful rifle! Stock looks amazing! I had a couple of Crowns when they were first released and they were amazing but too much gun for my needs so I moved them. But they were great shooters!

Nice! The 380mm barrel loves 18gr and lighter pellets. I just wish that I could shoot the 15.89 grain, there might be like 5 days a year here, where the wind is calm enough for them

Ghost,
you are correct about lighter pellets. my 380mm barrel shoots 2" groups at 50 with the 25 gr. RD. maybe the 700mm barrel will shoot heavier pellets. have not installed the long one yet. having too much fun with the shorty.

Yeah, I probably have 2500 pellets out of the 380mm barrel and 2000 out of the 700mm barrel (slugs included in those numbers). I was really hoping to be able to shoot the 25gr monsters, they group at an inch or so at 40y and open up to 24" at 100-109y! A HUGE bummer. I'm shooting 18gr AAs exclusively out of the shorty now, it just loves them!!!
The 700mm barrel loves the Monsters though! I can shoot them accurately up to ~1020fps in moderate winds out to my 109y target. I only shoot 28gr and 30gr slugs now out of the long barrel, the 28gr are even more accurate at 980-990fps (20+mph winds), and from ~1030-1040fps (in calm winds)!

Wow, it all looks good from the gun to the groups, to the bench, and the killer front rest. Nice set up Scott.
