Title: 58 Caliber Virginia

Here is a 58 that I just finished with a Colerain gain twist barrel, going to New Mexico in October on a mule deer hunt.

I know, no pictures-didn't happen, but I don't have a camera.

Good Luck in the Land of Enchantment. That is some nice country you're heading to.

I think your right, I shot 54's for ever and since I have built this 58 and a 62 as well, I think I'm hooked on the big guns! I really like the feel of the 62 when you shoot and this 58 is right there with it.
