WCH: No just a single buck so far. I have been west three times since I built it,took my 270's the times out near the Bow, and have not had an elk license since Elk Mountain,the fall before I built it and used my 7 Rem Mag up there. I always said I built that rifle too late in life as I have not hunted quite as actively as years past.A consequence of age and too many rifles. Other hunts I have taken it on, I just have not bumped into anything to shoot. I may put in for the Bow this year and if I draw it will come with me. Maybe I should book an elk hunt!

Not Bob but I can post some pictures of mashburned game 160 grain accubond 150 grain ballistic tip 150 grain ballistic tip 150 grain ballistic tip. About 20 other coyotes I don't have pictures of that have met their maker from the mashburn 150 grain ballistic tip. This is why I'm having to build another one because the wife has grown quite fond of it. Breaks my heart to have to build another one . One antelope doe and I think 7 other mule deer does and whitetail does have been taken with it too.

Bob and Laker, thanks for the answers. Some very nice game there Laker. Thanks for sharing. Never built a Mashburn. I am kind of like Bob too old and too many rifle already.. Like my custom barreled 7 mm Wea. But I like my old .300 more. No surprise to Bob.
Bob not sure what you are after for elk, but my pal and I had a fun hunt for cow elk last Jan.

Would any of you Mashburners build around a 3.4" mag box?

Reamer showed up today. Now if I could just decide between a Lilja #2 or a brux #3 fluted. I've got a lead on both of those so those are what I'm deciding between. May put an add in the classifieds to see if someone wants to get rid of a #2 or #3 barrel

Mr. Olson prefers to work with them as they are right down the road from him.

Not sure which bullet I'll run in mine this year but I know it'll go hunting.

I'd call Hart if ordering a custom barrel. Just do happens the last four rifles I've had built were all equipped with Hart Barrels. Customer service is excellent, and their barrels are super accurate and easy to clean.

Not much to add regarding the MSM. Just an observation from using many 7's the front one is a 28 Noz, with a 25" proof barrel, witch best's the one behind it, a 7wby with a 24"bart' by 100fps, the wby best's the last one, a 7 rem with a 26" krieger by 50fps. (all with 195's). with barrel length in consideration, they all do the same damn thing (the rem is long throat)..the MSM would fall between the 28 and 7wby, witch would equate to something like 1/4-1/2 moa difference between the whole lot of them at any given range. the mag 7's are pretty alike, not to piss on the MSM thread, its a great cart.. just an observation. I like them all! I will own a MSM someday, pry when the rem needs a tube
