My .416 Taylor is finally done

After changing my mind several times about what I wanted the gun to be Charles Gatlin finally finished it. The rifle took a turn for the ugly but functional. I had him take a laminated stock and pin it. Anothe recoil lug was added to the barrel then the whole thing glassed. I had him add a mercury recoil reducer to it and a decelerator recoil pad. It is topped with a VX-III 1.75x6 with the heavy cross hairs. It shoots under an inch with anything you stick in it. One of my friends works at Barrett and he is going to get some of the seconds from the .416 Barret bullet production. Should be fun for some long range shots. I will snap a picture in the next few days. Overall I am very pleased with it. reflex264
