Hey Ron,
Whats the deal with the barrel in the pic of the crown, the more silver looking center area? It looks like there is a liner in that tube, or is it just something with the picture that makes it look that way?
Very interesting caliber and looks like it shoots great.
Hey Shawn, there is no liner, what you are looking at, is the crown, which is left white. Here is a quote from the website.
"We feel the crown is so critical to accuracy that we leave it until after the gun is finished... our 11 degree target crowns are cut last and left bright... Our trademark finishing touch."

The rifle is light. The rifle is compact. To be as short, a bolt rifle, would need an 18 1/2" barrel; this rifle has a 24" barrel. The rifle is accurate. Myself, i am very much looking forward to carrying this rifle around out on the hot dusty prairie looking for pronghorn, and also in the timber looking for deer, with snow on the ground. The barrel has a target shooter like profile, but the net result is, a light, packable hunting rifle. A fella on Doug's wrote that shooting the rifle, would get boring. Initially i scoffed at such an idea, but now, more, and more, i kinda understand. There doesn't seem much left to do with this rifle, except go hunting with it. Sure, i will shoot some water filled jugs at long, and longer range, but..............that only is so thrilling. Well, i am thankful to be 'bored', instead of fretting over how to get an inaccurate rifle to shoot straight.
