Thanks!

Very nice rifle. I've been fortunate enough to purchase from gene270 multiple times, from bino's to a pocket knife to a rifle. He's been great to work with every time.

Very awesome rifle!

My idea of a carry-all-day hunting mountain rifle! Magazine length?

3.0 length box
obviously this isnt a shotgun but it points like one...very balanced
thanks for all the great comments gentleman

Wow, nice setup

yes sir...the first post pretty much sums it up
this work not counting the LOP adjustment will be around $1000.00 from outkast arms....the guys doing forbes/nula/ula/CLR work in Melvin Forbes old shop

Hi if you don't mind me asking who did the paint job on the stock.

the paint was done at ULA/NUlA
outkast arms can do it but the webbing will be a little finer

With what load? What does it like?

never developed a load ...probably some 140 bullets and imr 4350 from previous rifles

I doubt it. My last name could be Diamond or Notbuyingburg these days😂

I've got to quit looking at this!

55 grains IMR 4350 and a 140 grain Nosler Partition, Melvin's pet hunting load for the 284

Hey Teeder.
How about we buy this together and I'll have it from Sept. thru Feb. and you can use it from March thru August?

Very interesting rifle! I told a friend who is considering it. Seeing I have a 284 in a 7 1/4 lb Ruger M77 SA all set to go, I don't have the need but keep telling him he should own this rifle.

Speaking of 284 loads. Bob Hutton originally used the 140 partition with 57 or 58 gr of IMR4350. These days H4350 is a better choice because it fits better and is temperature stable. Having had 284s since the late 70s, I evolved to using RL-17 for a 168 Berger VLD load and a 120 Nosler Bt load. If someone wants to know my data they can PM me.
