When I had this rifle built we were hunting large tilled acreage and a couple of sections of CRP in Missouri.
Needed something fast and flat.
McGowen put the barrel up on their website for $65.00
It's a #5 contour w 6 flutes that someone had ordered and paid for and then never collected it from them.

I sent them an action and had them fit and chamber the barrel.
It's a nail driver w the 130 Accubonds.
Myself, my son and one of my buddies have all killed deer w it and only one of them have taken another step.
That was a nine point I shot through the lungs at 350 yards and he made it 30 yards before cartwheeling to a stop.
