After altering my Machining numbers on the breech Cover, I reassembled the action and test fired it alone. Just sighting along the barrel, it was easy to nail the flip/flop reset target at 20 yards. The 400 grain slug just disintegrated on the plate, and I found this thin collapsed wafer of the bottom. The breech slide worked perfectly. So I put the action back into the stock.

I had made a nice loading tool to send along, and provided some ammo to get started. Everything is now packed to ship. But before that ... I verified that the rifle shot as required. It easily put three shots into a tight cloverleaf at 45 yards with the 400 grain Carnivore Barnes 50's. The Slugs were from the Barnes Mold that is going along with the sizing die. All of that was used to make the exact products tested in this exact rifle.

Hopefully, the pics will make sence now, after the narrative.

Was enjoyable to shoot. Always takes another two days after you think you are done. But here it is. It will stay done, like all the rest that are out there now.

Thanks for Reading. Gary

Was nice to see it perform to spec.

Gary

It's so cool,to,see you testing this rifle within your own property.

That was nice Julio.

Thank You,

Gary

Hi Gary,

Could you please describe the.bottom picture? I can identify the slug seating tool, but there are other items in the picture. For example the one labeled with the 400 grns. What is that?

Thanks,

julio

Hi Julio,

It's a complimentary package of 400 grain slugs cast from the mold he purchased. I forgot to put the mold in the pic. The other item is the sizing die and ram.



Thanks,
Gary

I'd say "good shootin Tex", but you're a couple states too far away.

That is one nice looking and great shooting piece of work.

Gary,

A beaut for sure. The new owner will be thrilled.

Karl

Thanks Karl,

I certainly hope he is thrilled with the work. If I get a report, I'll post it here.

Best,
Gary

Way to go Gary! That's a fine piece of led slinging equipment right there, congratulations!

Thank you Gents,

It really shot wonderful. Very nice two stage trigger. Nice firing cycle. Glad you like the Outrider!

Gary

That is absolutely gorgeous..... and a shooter to boot!!!! i can not wait to be in a financial position to be able to get on the ledger for a gun!!! especially because ny has put airguns on the roster for big game!!!! i drool over the "dragon" on your site!!! Gary, you sir , are a true artist!!!! I need to go take a cold shower now!!!! LOL

Gary,
I've been away for a while, but I'm catching up on what I have missed. The Outrider is an awesome hunter! The new owner should be very happy!

Scott

Welcome back Scott,

IIRC you shot thru your deer at 75 yards with one.

I have that barrel project in the works. Inner barrel pulled and straightened.

Gary

Gary,
Yes I did. Unfortunately, there are no deer in my freezer from this winter. . I plan to make up for hat next year.

And the thought of the barrel project just made me grin from ear to ear!
