Very nice!

Here's a link that'll take you to details about the 97D and Eben Brown's proprietary cartridges.AJMD429 wrote:sometime post more about that rifle...
http://www.eabco.com/Brown97DRifle.htm
A friend and I each ordered one in 2001 -- mine in .300 Benchrest Magnum, his in 6.5. Over the next few years, I shot the heck out of my .300, working up several good loads and killing numerous deer. My friend never really got in to his, so in 2007 he offered to sell it to me for what he had paid -- about a third less than they were going for at the time. I took him up on it, thus becoming the rare bird who owns two of them. They are identical in every respect but chambering.
The website gives tons of information, but if you have any other questions I'll be happy to address them.
