I will take 2,000.00 for the gun alone. Less scope and rings.

I have done some leg work on the sum of the parts, and services on this gun. Near as I can figure is comes to around 2750.00. That's the cost to put together a gun on this quality. Factor in a 6 to 7 month turn around time to get it all put together. This one is ready to go. Start practicing now and be ready for the start of the season. That is a savings of 750.00 on the gun alone. Just some thoughts. I hope everyone has a good and safe Thanksgiving!
Thanks,
Mark

A few questions because I am interested in possible purchase:
Is the Pharr stock the RT/S "split finger" version?
Which Lilja Barrel was selected? Dan Lilja if not mistaken is now making many different twist rates and number of grooves in his .22 LR now.
Does the Lilja happen to be a 6 groove tight bore?
Did Lilja contour the barrel to the 1712 outer Hunter dimensions or did Evelio turn a Lilja barrel blank to legal Hunter outer diameter taper?

Do you know or did you pick a particular chamber reamer for Evelio to use?

If these questions are too specific about gunsmith/trade techniques I apologize and understand that you may not need to reveal some of these details due to respect for Evelio's hard earned craftsmanship.

I know that Evelio's rifles will perform but I am looking for a specific combination of components that Evelio may have put together on this rifle.

Thanks,
Bobby R. Huddleston

I don't have any secrets that I would not be willing to share with any of my Sil. shooters friends, or actually anybody wanting gunsmithing advice.
I don't know who " High Speed " is, so I can't look at my records, since they are all listed by the actual name of the customer. But if I did build that rifle, the barrel would be a Lilja tight bore 53RF contour ( Lilja contour ) and I would have use a PTG Lilja tight bore match reamer, finish barrel lenght probably 24" long.
Regards
Evelio.

Sorry I forgot, the barrel would have a 16 twist 4 groove.

Evelio,
Thanks for that info. It is a fantastic sport when the actual rifle craftsman will respond so quickly on a forum and speaks volumes for that builder's customer support in the future.

Evelio,
I bought the gun from MSG. Tom Freeman. Before I purchased the gun from him I called you to confirm that you had indeed built the gun. You said you remembered building the gun for him. Maybe this will help.
Thanks,
Mark Boeckman

Yes, I did build one for Tom, and the Spec. questions on the barrel are the same I posted earlier.
