I just bought a Rem 40X in 6X47, have dies and components for it but haven't shot it yet. Looks like it'll probably be a primo prairie dog gun when I get around to making it talk - 1:14 twist should be perfect for those 55gr. blitzkings. We shall see....

Just put one together.   Ought to make a light, fast calling rig for predators.

Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus

Ladobe, I really like your "Stealth". How about a little info. Whats the length? It is tapered? Is it made by Bullberry.

Thanks for the info. :wink:

Moe - overall length is 32", 22" when folded.   Barrel is a tapered 18" Brown Precision - Choate buttstock with Pachy forend "floated" - Swift Premier 4-12X40 on Burris base and low rings.    Carries in a tennis racket bag for even more "Stealth".  I will camo the rig 100% when I get time.   L.
