I'm voting for Trump again! Ecc 10:2 The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but that of a fool to the 24HCF.

Shot 1/2" groups at 100 yds. with ease (1st load that I tried, so could have been even better), barrel cleaned up great and I would put it up against any other barrel out there.

Gotta getsome pre-orders out for them first.

A 6.5 Creedmoor on a 700 and a 223 wylde Hbar 1/7 5R Scoped both of them and the interior finish is as good as any Kreiger or Bartlein Their machine work was extremely nice Both rifles are tack drivers. There is not a better buy available in my opinion.

X-C lists their standard sporter as 1.220 (I assume shank diameter), 2.75 (shank length?), 0.800 (diameter of barrel at some distance ahead of the taper), 6 (distance from end of barrel to the 0.800 diameter), and 0.600 (diameter of barrel at some finish distance). Is the 0.600 from 26 inches? 24? Whatever length you decide? Joel
