I just shot my 22" .223 Bullberry stainless bull barrel. It shoots very nice. I shot a golf ball 3 times about 75 yards with cheap shells and put in a Hornady 55 gr. vx moly and missed the first time, went up one click and the ball disappeared. I already have a pepper laminate stock and I just ordered a target fore end from Fred Friday. I got the last one and he is making a batch of Contender fore arms this week. He said it should ship out Friday. I hope it doesn't take as long as the barrel did. I need to freshen up on my coyote howler and rabbit squealer.
