Frankly, I'm a little disappointed in your answers, considering how many of your former rifles are wearing the trigger guards I made.
Triggerguard1 As I said before you were claiming to be a supplier of mine and you never were and never will. You have earned the title Jackass

I noticed that GreyBull Precision is the new sponsor of this forum. I was wondering if anybody knew anything about the company. Has anyone used them for anything? Is there a rep here as a member?
Just wondering... Happy you asked?

First shot from a cold clean barrel will be in a group if you shoot another shot or two. It may not be the group you wanted, but a group it will be.
I knew Gale and his brother Pat, both made some good barrels, some of Pat's barrels shot world records, Pat shot some of them himself. All BR shooters will shot a fouler into the sight-er target without fail. Me 2.
Great thread.

Triggerguard may ba lot of things, including exceptional machinist, but jackass isn't one of them.
But like somebody said, this whole thread is ridiculous.
I've got nothing against Mr. Burns but BOTW is a show I didn't care for.

Wasn't the army still using a fixed 10x on their sniper rifles back in '87? I pretty sure Marine Snipers were using a fixed 10x Unertl from the 80's until 2005? Don't recall them needing side focus or adjustable parallax.
Yes, 10X Leupold M3 Ultra (later renamed Mark IV). One min elevation turret, with range in meters for 7.62 x 51/173gr. 0.5 moa windage knob, and a side focus parallax adjustment. Most of those scopes were still in use when I retired in 03. Looks like I'm wrong again. Learn something every day.

300MAG,
Stoney is bucking for employee of the year. I would have never imagined he would sell you out for $800.
Plus you gotta supply the rubbing.

I think Greybull should give me a free rifle for putting them in the spotlight and getting them all this attention! JBurns, just PM me and we can work out the details!
Thanks!

Damn,considering there's no secrets to the fact that you're using a [bleep] B&C stock and leupold optics,why all the secrecy with your barrel manufacturer?What are you using E.R Shaw or factory take offs?

Bauer, Let's see. EIGHT whole posts on 24HRCF and half of them slamming JBurns? As far as Bell and Carlson or Leupold building "schitty" products - you need your head examinined. Bell and Carlosn is capable of building a very fine stock. Winchester, Remington and Weatherby use B&C stocks on some of the best rifles they make. Their top of the line stocks are as good as anything HS Precision makes- which is the only other US company that uses a comparable build process. And to call Leupold "[bleep]" truly proves what a ignorant troll you are... Get a life...

(Jim not directed at you,just responding) Lots of sniping going on here...and it isn't directed at any 700 yard elk...... I don't know John Burns or GreyBull Precision from Adam,but I am a bit shocked and surprised by the carping and sniping he has been forced to endure since coming on the CF as a sponsor. It's ironic that the attacks I see on here are not generally directed at other members of this forum who partake in LR shooting activities, and use the products;nor toward others who seek to sell products or services on here. They all provide a service available to the members here of a great deal of value that you cpuld search high and low for and never really find. This is still America......if a guy wants to sell a particular product, build a rifle a certain way,engage in a certain legal activity,he is free to do so.If you don't like it,want to buy something different,don't choose too engage in LR shooting....that's fine. But I am a bit embarassed at the abuse this guy has taken on here and do not feel it's been justified.I don't go for public lynchings and never have,just because someone happens to disagree with what someone else is saying or doing. If you are writing Burns a check for one of his rifles you can say anything you want...if not,take your business elsewhere and stop the stupid, needless criticism. If LR hunting isn't your bag....that's fine ,too. I belong to the same club.......but just because I can't do it,doesn't mean someone else can't.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
