Spoke with my builder yesterday.  He says the rifle shoots fine and came in just under 8 pounds.  I'm going to have it in hand at the rendezvous August 31.    :applaud

If it shoots anywhere near as good as it looks it's a sure-fire winner!

I like the idea of that tapered barrel. Over the years I often thought about using one - but never did. It's going to be a very nice rifle for sure!  :hairy
