Well heck ya that's a great start n finish. Awesome accuracy for sure. Most people outside of the smokless muzzleloader group just cannot comprehend the accuracy we can get. It's just amazing.Thank you for the compliment.
I have no prob posting groups, bullets, velocity, but that's where I stop.
Here is the first test group shot out of this barrel that the builder shot, with the side port brake on it.
Target was 100yds, bullets were Northern Precision 270g PinPoints.
Velocity was 2700fps.
I'd say that's about one hellova good starting group isn't it.
Here are a cpl 200yd groups that I shot with this gun before the makeover with 275g Fury ST2P bullets. Pics 1&2 are 200yds, pic 1 group is 9/16" CTC Pic with calipers is 100yds with the factory barrel with a brake added & an ignition & BP upgrade. Velocity there was just over 2600fpsReally? I've seen superior accuracy in these modern in-lines but the calculated muzzle energy seems incredible. Your numbers calculate out to 4943 ft.lbs of energy. The 416 Rigby elephant gun with a 400gr bullet @ 2400 fps makes 5116 ft.lbs. Are you using BH209, or smokeless powder? Sounds pretty optimistic, but...
Time to get onboard then buddy lolI don't have one yet either.

It depends on the rifle. For a TC Encore or CVA Scout conversions, yes, you can get them for around 1300.00. Most bolt action builds will be considerably more.Are these rifles obtainable for under $2500?
Also to what Ninering62 said that build cannot stand the same performance as a true bolt gun made correctly.Are these rifles obtainable for under $2500?
Yes, that's how I got started. Great shooting Encore setup from Luke at Arrowhead. Then I graduated to a bolt gun. The Encore is an excellent way to get into this.It depends on the rifle. For a TC Encore or CVA Scout conversions, yes, you can get them for around 1300.00. Most bolt action builds will be considerably more.
