The one pic, of the muzzle, is unclear. Otherwise, it looks like a very nice rifle. I might be interested except I have something else I am planning to buy on Tuesday...so no can do. Good luck.

If possible, could you post a picture straight on of the entire rifle so that one can tell the shape of the comb etc. Thanks

Bump to the top. This is a great shooting and looking rifle. Someone must be interested.

 

[TxGR]

I might be interested. Something else I was planning kind of fell through. I'll PM you.

Im curious about the twist rate is it 1:66 or 1:48 you have both posted thanks!

Its gain twist, starts out 1:66 at the breech then the twist rate of the rifling increases to 1:48 at the muzzle, if I understand it correctly.

It is a Bobby Hoyt Gain twist barrel with 1:70 near the breech, progressing to 1:48 at the muzzle. This barrel has had only approximately 60 rounds thru it since it was re-bored.

Starts at 1:70 to 1:48. There is a picture of Hoyt's invoice for the work.
