This is the Super Gun. It is my switch barrel benchrest/varmint gun that I had made. I decided at the time that it  was stupid to have more than one gun. You really only need one gun… saves on scopes and such. It takes about 10 minutes to swap barrels. Based on this theory, I decided to sell all my old guns and scopes and just buy one “Super Gun”.

Dad shooting the Super Gun

The action is a Remington 40x benchrest single shot trued by S and S Precision. The bolt was custom made for the 6BR. The trigger is the original 40x set at about 4 oz.

The stock is a fiberglass Shehane made by McMillan. The scope is a Nightforce 12-42 x 56 Benchrest (the best one can buy right now).

I have two barrels and two bolts. One bolt accommodates all of the 30-06 derived cartridges, and the other the 223 derived cartridges.

The barrel installed for the pictures is a 6BR 1-8 twist no turn neck Kreiger heavy varmint.

The other barrel is a Kreiger 1-14 twist chambered in 223 Ackley Improved.
