Title: Does anyone else have one of these?
Post by: m25operator on November 21, 2007, 09:32:15 PM

I've owned this pistol for about 15 years, it was built for the Masters Tournament just before they reduced the magazine capacity to 5 rounds.

1) Ultra Light Arms model 20 action. 7mm IHMSA ( 300 savage necked down to 7mm, 120grn bullets at 2500 fps.)
2) Utra Light Arms rings and mount.
3) Shilen SS barrel. With muzzle brake.
4) 10 round blind magazine.
5) Shilen trigger - no safety, 2lbs.
6) Brown precision stock. Modified.
7) Left hand bolt, right hand grip.

I've only seen a few on Gunlist, in the custom handgun section. Do any of you, have one?

Nope, but it's a pretty cool looking handgun! Although I'd want mine in a more readily available caliber. I'm guessing you have to reload ammo for it or know someone who does to get more ammo.

I've shot it to 500 meters, but only grouped it to 200 yards. It hits well to about 350 yards and then the 120 grain ballistic tips start scattering. At 200 yards I've shot 2" 10 shot groups, but my favorite was a 3.5 inch group at 200 in 90 seconds, I was practicing for the Masters and that is the time limit given or was at that time. I do handload for it. Sighted in dead on at 200 makes it 2" high at 100.

Nice looking pistol.  How is the recoil on that thing?  I have never shot one like that.  Would be a blast on deer or antelope.

Recoil is less than a .44 mag revolver. The muzzle brake works well, it is loud though, especially to anyone to the side of you.

Unfortunately, I don't have one. But, from the pictures I wish I did. Looks awesome!
