    This one is a project that I just haven't had time to play with. It's a vanguard short action (which has quite a bit of room), and a Mcgowan barrel. I ordered the barrel a few years back, but it's a 1-8 twist so I could load heavies, spiral fluting, 24" length, threaded 5/8×24. It's in a bell and Carlson stock that I sponge painted. Factory trigger and bottom metal. The action was unfired when I had the barrel switched, and now it has about 15 rounds through it. I started barrel break in, cleaned it and never got back around to finishing it. It shot fine, just under 1 moa if I remember correctly, and I'm sure would tighten up after a few more rounds. I have almost a case of 200gr Hornady ELD-X ammo available to the buyer, and a set of dies, some brass too if interested. I rattle canned the barrel, since it came in the white. The one piece base was painted to match a different rifle. $750 shipped, scope and rings not included.
