Here is one of mine, it's a 257 JDJ with a T'SOB mount and a Burris 3X9 AO scope. The frame has been worked by SSK, including a fantastic trigger job, and both the barrel and frame are SSK "Khrome" plated. I bought the complete rig used, took it to the range to confirm scope settings and killed the blackbuck with it on it's first hunt a couple of weeks later. An 85 grain Ballistic tip did the job on the 150 yard shot. The free ranging antelope was killed on a non-high fenced Texas ranch, by spot and stalk hunting.
14" 309JDJ, 2.5x7 TC Scope, 150grn Ballistic tips. Took my first deer with it last Dec.in the Oklahoma Panhandle. 135lb doe at 235 yards. It's a cannon. Thanks GonHuntin for the barrel.

Here is mine with a VVCG's 13 7/8" 7-30 Waters matte blue barrel. It is topped with a Burris 2-7. FYI-I was with GonHuntin on his free-range blackbuck antelope hunt here in Texas. That was a great stalk and a great shot he made! (GH-is the check in the mail )

MSSmagnum - How have you been? Once again you got my attention!! Tell me about the rest system the .221 Fireball is sitting on. (I think that may help drop another .02" off some of my groups)
