Samesies



Mine is a JES rebore that started as a .30-06. Cut it to 20” and added a Remington front sight and use an NECG ghost ring when I want to hunt open sights.





I went 1:14". It shoots the Sierra 225 well and seems to do fine with 200 RN bullets but hasn’t shot as well with 250s, the 225 Accubond, 225 Partition or 225 TSX. It used to bug me but the 225 Sierra is proving to be a great bullet, so I just shoot it and use my Norma to launch the heavier and longer bullets.

It does shoot 158 XTPs well also, so sometimes I hunt with those and plink with cast bullets.
