Barrel is 1-8 X-Caliber stainless,I also have a 1-14 Douglas .223 barrel for it, both 24" and app .600" at the muzzle.McMillan stock, Timney trigger and 700 bolt handle.Without digging it out,I think it is around 7# without scope. When I first got the rifle back from the gunsmith I tried everything from 55 to 105 grains-all shot basically the same, 1" at 100 and 2-3" at 250 yards. Contemplated selling,but didn't want to sell an inaccurate gun for the amount I would need out of it. Somewhere along the line I switched scopes and suddenly my groups shrunk! Haven't tried the heavier bullets yet, but have shot 62,66 and 68 and haven't shot a group over .4" at 100 yet.
