I don't recall anyone asking you to interject yourself into the conversation either, but, predictably, you can't help yourself.

I was asking the hunter about the hunt, not anything to do with the rifle. Didn't realize anyone who wants to post on a thread needed your permission there Karen.

Yea, got the original before you changed it. Nobody asked you anything but you have to run your mouth yet again like you always do. I think I found the true Karen here

I was requested to build the hardware, and I did. And did it very successfully. It is no concern of mine how it is used, as long as it it legal. It has been used legally. These same hunters, also go on hard hunts around the globe, along with hunting inside a high fence, in Texas, west of I-35. That is their business. If they are happy, I am happy. And my phone and email has been active because of the O.P, and the hunters that have used the rig.

So, yall debate all you want, on high or low fence, antler scores, or how much work is going into the hunts. It matters not. The people using this rifle, optic and ammo don't give a damn what you think. And neither do I.

If you don't give a damn why do you make 10+ statements in response? I'll answer for you: You give a damn.

For myself. Everyone that has shot the demo rig wants it. I don’t want to not have one if it sells. We just gonna get my own and it will be my backup if this one decides to leave me.

And I wish a couple of yall wouldn’t get my thread locked.

I care about the rig I built and that it is working, you moron.

I do not care about two of you judging how it is being used.

I can see a "XYZ Ranch" special edition JG builds and then sells due to this thread.

Pretty cool that everyone who has shot the rifle wants a replica. You don't see that everyday thats for sure!

I made a hypothesis, and did some research. Steel barrels were ordered with spiral flutes. When they came in, I cut then off at 20" finish, and turned/ threaded/ crowned the muzzle, at 20" same as the demo rifle. Demo rifle is a Bartlein carbon fiber #4, weighing 3.0 pounds. The steel barrels I ordered are Bartlein #3 and I had the spiral fluted for a 20" finish. The shark is still whole. Meaning it has not had the tenon turned, threaded, and chambered. It weighs 3 pounds 3 ounces.

And if we're using fluted steel barrels, they must be two tone Cerakoted. Because it's cool!

Beautiful place for sure. I wanted that kind of ductwork in my place, but the builders didn't know how to make it happen so we scrapped it and went with split units. Really like the look of that ductwork in such a setting.
Also wanted a glass wall like that in our place, but we got a bunch of windows with structure between them. It is still a window wall but not as impressive as yours.

Again, beautiful place!


But is it about the hunt or antlers? If one is focused on 220avg then they are the mirror image of what they are trolling on

Ditto on the place only thing better would be a view of Tetons!

Come on Bobo. Dividing 1983 by 9 does not mean anyone is “focused” and mentioning the average score, after your post about easy to kill 9, is not trolling. You’re about my fave on here, but that was a stretch. cheers


I stand by exactly what I said and the posts after this prove exactly what I was eluding too. It’s not hard to kill 9 deer in a weekend on vast majority of Texas. The OP is mocked for High scores, on his own thread, that’s trolling. Why, because deer score is obviously a d measurement contest for both sides. Op isn’t hiding anything, nor try to pass anything off.

That’s exactly what I want on mine. Different colors but that barrel.

That's a 3b contour.

I've got three #3 contours with those flutes ready to roll. Two 7mm and one .308.

Outside of the stupid stuff, this is one of the coolest threads on THF in a while. Building a bad-arse gun and seeing it being used regularly by a forum member to take cool animals.

Two-tone cerakote in the flutes is bad-arse! I can't afford such a rig, but that's a righteous firearm.

It looks like once he threads it for an action, it’s going to be as light or lighter than a carbon barrel without the downside of a carbon barrel which can heat up faster and start stringing shots.

20" is in my calculations the breaking point for carbon...anything shorter you're not gaining a weight advantage going to carbon...longer is when you start gaining a weight advantage because if you are going to thread 5/8-24 then you have to start going up in profile and it is when the carbon starts making more sense.

I like the carbon look and have some short carbons...but I also have some steel 24" barrels. All in the look you like...once you flute them you aren't talking a big $ difference but you do get where you can shoot a high number of shots before the barrel goes funky. My comment just to a customer this week..."you're hunting, if you shoot three times...you are either piling up animals or something has gone very wrong, go carbon if you like."

I too like the 2 tone flutes, the more contrast the better.
