That should approach the speed of light if the bullet doesn't just vaporize.

You got a good deal on a fine gun …….. Save the good barrel buy a second one and wear it out getting all your ducks in a row…….. jim

Jim, it actually comes with two barrels.. a Krieger and a Bartlein, both 28" 1:8. The Bart is on the rifle now and I will save the Krieger for after I get my act together.

The rifle arrived at my FFL this morning. Looks to be in pretty much perfect condition, the bolt with that roller bearing is a dream to operate. Got through the California paperwork (California DOJ seems to have no idea who BAT Machine is) finally, and now it sits there for the infernal California 10 day waiting period before I can take possession of it and go shoot it.

Alex has been terrific answering all my questions along the way, and supplying me with a good quantity of already formed 6 Dasher brass to get started with.

I am sure excited to be heading down this road with such a nice weapon!
