I finally joined the ranks of the 40 club. It is a full stock rifle with a 34” x 7/8” Goodoien barrel. It has an L&R Durs Egg lock and target triggers by Dru Hedgecock. The rifle was engraved by Mike Roby.

I got it out to the range today and started some load work. It seems to shoot anything I put down the barrel fairly well.

For today, the best load was 40 gr Swiss 3F, .389 ball, and .018” pillow ticking lubed with mink oil.

A good target means nothing if you don’t tell us the range.
