firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted November 22, 2010 I have not shot this gun since I had "El Chupacabra" made. It was a very good gun to me that I used and shot a lot. Bettin Custom Guns built Mauser 98 with a Shillen barrel. Recently sent back to Todd to bed and fit the McMillian swirly or "McSwirly" in a custom combination called the Coyote Bomber pattern. Gun has a Bold trigger that is VERY light and crisp. To me, it is actually too light, but easily adjusted.... He did that last time it went to him. It breaks like glass at about 1 pound I would guess. While he had it, he also reblued the gun so it looks brand new. He did come across one thing, he did say there was a tiny amount of erosion in the throat, which is to be expected with the rifle having about 700 rounds down the barrel pushing 140 Nosler Accubonds into tiny groups at 3200+ FPS. He stated it was from normal use and it still shoots well. Here are some pictures. The scope that is on it is a Zeiss 4.5-14x50 with turrets. It can be had with the rifle BUT currently it needs to be sent back to Zeiss, where they will fix the elvation turret. The last time it was shipped, the top turret was knocked off. Should be a easy, warranty covered fix. More pictures can be had, let me know. I would like $1,200 for the rifle and $1,700 for the scope/gun combo The gun is a proven shooter. Here is my best group at 100 yards with 140 Nosler Accubonds and H4831sc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scoutm Report post Posted December 16, 2010 Don't know how I missed this. Surprised you are selling it. I have shot this rifle and it most definitely is a shooter. The trigger takes some getting use to but with a little practice you could grow to love it. Good luck selling it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
