Nice looking rifle. Is that stainless or Eabco's French Gray finish?

Stainless from Bullberry Barrel Works. It has a Burris (made in the USA) scope mounted on it.

Very nice looking rifle. I cant imagine that any self-respecting coyote would not like to see it up close. :lol:

P.S I sure am glad I dont have to earn it.

Hey....wait just a minute here....... :wink:

dbuz - How long did it take you to get that set up from Fred at Bullberry? Also did he put the stud in the forearm? Mine came without one!
I ordered a target forearm from him - took about 14 weeks to get - alas it was made for his barrels - not the factory barrel that I told him I had - he said he would take it back - but this gave me a chance to get a full 20" bull barrel from him - so its on order - but out about 4 months - :cry:

I ordered the forearm on 11/14 I think. It came last week. When I called, he said he had one blank left and he was cutting some that day. I got lucky. The barrel took about 6 months. He asked if I wanted a stud in the forearm and it came with one. I had to drill new holes so it would fit my barrel. My 22" barrel has the same bushings, distance from the frame and distance apart, as the factory 14" barrel. I'll be sure to only shoot the furry, mean coyotes. So if you are not furry and mean, you don't have anything to worry about.

Hey dbuz,

Now all you have to do is spray a bunch of camo paint all over that shiny SS barrel, frame and scope. Then maybe you will get a shot at mister mean coyote.

Nice looking rifle though. I just got a new Bullberry stock and target forearm in dark walnut. They do nice work.

Happy Holidays,

Hummm.....have a beard......been called a butthead by lots of folks.....maybe I will just lay low...... :lol:

Is that barrel what they call a heavy barrel? I saw a full 1" x 20" bull that Fred made for a gal. Could not get over it.....loved it.....the gun that is........Let us know how it shoots....Fred said that he was going to raise the price of the barrels at the first of the year......when I called he said he had received about 100 orders for barrels......sigh......4 month to wait.......oh well....have a little 17 hummer that has been asking to be shot......dang ammo is the same price as the 223 ammo......... :x

Yeah. Its very heavy. I can barely hold it up long enough to shoot it. All I know is I ordered a bull barrel. I don't know if it's called a heavy barrel. It shoots great. I haven't shot at paper targets so I don't know the grouping. I shot a golf ball a few times with it. When I shoot the Hornady vx moly at it, I haven't been able to find the ball afterwards.
