FS Ballard 38/55 SOLD

Selling a Ballard built by Curt Hardcastle for himself, which is to say everything is top notch.

Original Ballard action that came from Dick Binger. Dick added a trigger pull adjustment screw and an overtravel adjustment.

#4 octagon Badger barrel 1-16” twist and finished at 28” chambered for the short brass. Drilled and tapped for blocks.

Stocks from Treebone Carving, fitted, finished, and checkered by Curt. Buttstock has a very few, very light marks. Swivel stud installed and a cute one screwed to bottom of barrel.
There is a second set of fitted but not finished benchrest stocks.

Lyman front globe, MVA base on tang.

Rifle is exactly as it came to me from Curt, I have not fired the rifle. Curt told me it was a consistent 1/2-5/8” rifle off bench with 16x scope and he shot it in one silhouette match and placed third.

Rifle will ship in a hard plastic case.

$2800 shipped.
