Well, the rifle is in the McMillan Museum. Mac never fired it after that and retired from competition. Gale told me the barrel was made by Pat and it was one of those “not good enough” for a customer. Pat button rifled barrels. The action is a full diameter bolt, right bolt, right port, round action. Machined by Mac. The rest I wont tell but you’ll be hard pressed to purchase its equal today.

The cartridge was the 222 Remington, the barrel and the action was made by McMillan. The scope used was a boosted 12X Leupold.

@duceman, the cartridge used was a .219 Donaldson Wasp loaded with earlier Speer bullets made out of spent .22lr cases. The reamer was crafted by Henriksen, the barrel was a rebore by Cliff LaBounty of an old .177 airgun bull barrel,fitted to an Enfield P17 action on a McMillan stock. Quite an achievement if you think about it.
