    Very cool. I'm always a sucker for a 25 cal. What bullet are you shooting, and what do you estimate it's velocity is?

    I’ve always liked that setup of your .257 JDJ and will be mocking it in appearance soon. I’ve got everything, except a barrel, to rig out a relatively short range, box stand deer gun for my sister. I’ll be going with a 6.5 Grendel on hers. Just haven’t gotten around to ordering the barrel yet.

    My go to bullet is the Nosler 100 gr Ballistic Tip
    Reloader 15
    Fed 210
    Velocity is 2650 fps from 17 inch barrel

    Encore barrel will take 1.0 gr more power than my 14 in Contender barrel

    always liked the idea of a .257JDJ in carbine...is that maybe a 4-12x up top?

    great looking combo.
