The stock is factory black, the barrel is 1-10 twist, gun weighs on bathroom scale 8 3/4 lbs., contour is a #4, its bigger than all my factory REM's but smaller than my VSF, 28" long. The gun was put together by friend of mine (L.Conring) who is a H.O.G. and built guns for the military (retired).He is the real deal, great guy, knows what he is doing. I know he said it didn't have all the free bore like the factory weatherby's.
