Shilen 26" 14 twist bull barrel with .253 neck and .025 freebore so it barely holds 40 grain Berger FBs and shoots a bit better with 52 grain Bergers. Zermatt TL3 RBLP single shot action, Jewell BR trigger, MPA Matrix chassis, and March 10-60x56 HM scope. I need to get a 0 freebore chamber.

Here's one target from a freezing day awhile ago shooting 5 shot groups at 100 yards with 40 grain Bergers. My hands got so cold I had to put gloves on for the last group. LOL
