I have the same caliber in a super 14 as well. This barrel is a great shooter. The first barrel had a tiny butt on the muzzle crown and would not group at 25 yards, yet alone 200.Wildcatting today... kinda.
Picked up a 7-30 Waters Super 14 barrel for the Contender a couple of weeks back, and the weather has me cooped up, so why not get some fire forming done, right?
In the pocket is mymapkemaple canoe.

Edit- no idea what a "mapke" is.
I've got my fingers crossed. The deer on my farm are like ducks in a barrel. Figured I'd make it more sporting.I have the same caliber in a super 14 as well. This barrel is a great shooter. The first barrel had a tiny butt on the muzzle crown and would not group at 25 yards, yet alone 200.
Enjoy it.
I like the size & the light weight of those, and I've built a custom Spitfire many times, but never pulled the trigger: Magnacut, carbon fiber scales, black spacer & clip.Plain Jane spitfire with a fresh edge

I may finally order a custom one... But will wait for the BOTM first.![]()
I've done the same, except orange g10 hahaI like the size & the light weight of those, and I've built a custom Spitfire many times, but never pulled the trigger: Magnacut, carbon fiber scales, black spacer & clip.
You made me go check my sheath. Sure enough,I finally decided to make my BCCI Koa 112 a user. It would be a crime to keep this beauty in 440C in a box!
The ad said the sheath was imported. The label on the box even says the sheath is imported, but the sheath itself says Proudly Made in the USA!
Still, I’m ordering a brown leather sheath from Ed Costa.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised when mine came with a USA made sheath. Those things have some nice looking wood.I finally decided to make my BCCI Koa 112 a user. It would be a crime to keep this beauty in 440C in a box!

Very handsome knife.Happy 440C Day - er, Valentine’s Day, yeah, that’s what I meant.
I love where the steel backspring, brass liners/frame, and wood scales all come together.
