My new to me "Bush Buster"

@Relic shooter That is a wonderful rifle and an elk killer for sure.

They knew exactly what they were doing and what they were doing it for when they made those guns.

Good to see interest in shorter barrels. I'm about to order this gun for my elk and muley hunts. I'll use a PRB. Not a conical fan.

I was going to post the same thing about those rifles. Cabelas used to sell those with a 24" barrel but the ones they sold had a fast twist. I seem to remember them having a 1/28 twist. They come up for sale on gunbroker ever so often and sell for big bucks. I bid on them but stop bidding when they climb over the $500 price.

Not sure the Cabelas version is exactly the same as the Investarm version. TheInvestarm comes directly from Investarm. The Cabelas and Lyman versions were made for them by Investarms.
