Barrel length and contour? Scope included?
The left lane is for the the purpose of moving the flow of traffic forward regardless of the speed limit. If your impeding the flow of traffic get your ass in the right lane. It's really that simple...

Any ammo come with it? Can you buy that ammo or is it reload only. I know you can get 257 roberts. That is a fine piece. Please post about the ammo. I texted my B-I-L and he said he will call me tonight to answer questions. He's a country boy, what can I say? I'm sort of a novice, so all I can do is google about the .257 AI - here is an article I found about it: http://www.gunandgame.com/forums/powder-keg/28215-257-ackley-improved-ammo.htmlI know that B-I-L loads his own ammo. I'll ask him if he plans to throw some in with the deal - I imagine that's his plan but I hate to speak for him. I'll post more information after I speak with him later. I sure do appreciate the kind words and interest!

You can shoot standard .257 Roberts in a Ackley chamber. That's actually how you make (form) the Ackley brass. Sweet rifle. Very tempting, but I've swore off buying anymore safe queens.

Got this update: It has a McGowan 24 inch barrel with a 10 twist. I chambered it in 257 Roberts Ackley Improved with a tight no turn neck. I did it this way so even someone who doesn't reload can still use store bought factory loaded 257 Roberts ammo. When you fire standard 257 Roberts ammo in the gun, it blows the brass out to 257 Ackley Improved. I also have dies I'll let go with it. You can use them to reload the fire formed brass back as the 257 Ackley round. The stock is unbelievable. Even the barrel channel is fitted to the barrel contour with no gap anywhere the entire length. Picture of the Channel: bottom: broad view Forend closeup Butt

So it's a single shot w/no mag?

You might have better luck putting this on 24hourcampfire.com. Beautiful rifle for sure. They will want ALL the specs on 24 though.

So it's a single shot w/no mag? I haven't asked that question, so I'll have to confirm - but that is not my understanding. I believe it does contain a magazine - just not a drop magazine. Now, I'm going to have to confirm that, though. Good question!
