The rifle pictured is a Browning BBR in 7Mag thats been Straightjacketed. Sometimes I get a little eager and after reading about what the straightjacket could do for this barrel burner I didnt even fire it after it was given to me. I sent it in for the process. At that time they were doing a carbon steel jacket, I think now its only aluminum and Ti or maybe stainless. At the time I was probably 50 years old. Been shooting since I was a little tyke and while not an absolute marksman I could generally quiet the laughter from those waiting for me to take a shot they thought wasnt a very likely hit. After getting it back I took it to a hunters sight in shoot at a private range. 36 benches, 18 spotters. Well, I had forgotten to bore sight it. Had a windage adjustable base. First shots were three lanes left and about 4 feet high. Needless to say it took a bit to get it on target, in a hurry, with 36 shooters and a line of shooters waiting to get in to sight theirs in. The spotter, not unfoundedly, figured I was a complete dope and long story short, after running out to the truck for a screwdriver to adjust the base, rounds 31, 32, 33 all but dead center in the 10 ring could be covered with a dime and you could pick the rifle up by the barrel. Cost to me at the time was a little less than $500 including shipping. I have since did a bunch of ammo testing and found I got extremely lucky and hit the sweet spot with RP cases, 63.5G's of IMR 4350, CCI primers and 120 Nosler 28120's which is a 120g sp. I'm trying to find the guy again to see if he can do a 30.06 for me. Probably going to be around $750 this time but to me, as opposed to sending a rifle to a gunsmith to have it accurized I'm thinking this is absolutely the way to go. Oh and, your wife or daughter could send a couple hundred rounds with that 7Mag in an afternoon and tell you how much fun it was as opposed to telling you their shoulder was killing them. Less kick than an AR, LESS.........
