Mine came finished as a 54 . My buddy had a 50 . Great values for tbe day . Mine was a birtbday gift from my folks . I'll never part with it . I hated to modify it but no one would make another barrel . I gave myself power steering and it became a 50 with a new 700 uml take off barrel for $50 . Cut off the rem threads+ and rethread so to speak . I lost maybe 1/4" of working bore . Well i came this far so it got a brake too and a redesigned plug for blackhorn or #11 use . The brake looks like it came off a civil war 6 pounder cannon . Very cool with the fluted barrel . The tiger stripped maple stock is extremely lite and reshaped too . It is handsome !! It shoots wonderfull and is under 7 lb scoped easily probably less . Its old and a little tough to use with the ignition but its a hot rod and worth the trouble to use . Im a professional level gear head racer , and it shows....in all it does and is . 140grV blackhorn , 275gr bullet and easy moa@200 . I like it . Now i want a 45 so hence the info . A smart guy would just buy the Ultralite 45 and call it good . I got PLANS
Sounds cool...post some pics!
