Barrel is a .22LR Douglas Premium Air-Gaged match-grade barrel with match chamber. Butt stock and forend made from Turkish Walnut and patterned from picture of the Ballard # 6 ½ Off-Hand Rifle you see on page 190 in Dutcher’s book. Very smooth, tight action. Shoots very well, see 249-point target from 2018 International Schuetzenfest match - - this rifle shot many 50-shot bench-rest upper-1220’s to 1233 scores with SK Rifle Match ammo. $1875.00. $75 insured shipping directly to buyer with proof of 21 years old.
