That's a pretty rifle!! What's your plan for the custom .25 caliber dies?

Nice rifle! Looks like the bolt was worked over. Barrel length maybe 22” ?

Kudos to that lady for knowing what she had and not coming down on the price.
And I’m glad that rifle was sold to the right guy.

That's a cool rifle.
I have questions; they are purely from ignorance. Please don't think I'm dissing on this rifle.
1) Why a 25 on a 243 case?
2) What does this buy you going after sheep or anything else?

Well I'll join " its a beauty" crowd...
Thanks for sharing Shrap. Always enjoy you sharing when you find a new toy.
I'm sure its worth every penny regardless of what she cost ya. When it goes to a new owner, you'll never lose a penny on it, I'd bet. Meanwhile enjoy it!
