At the request of some forum members, I am starting a Group Buy of the 5", half-lug, no comp, tight gap, fast twist .500 S&W Magnum I designed and that is built by the Performance Center with a lifetime warranty.
This gun can shoot 400 grain bullets of my design at over 2000 FPS, and will stabilize 725 grain bullets as low as 800 FPS. Scoped and off sandbags, many users are reporting 2"-3" groups at 100 yards. Kent Lomont put 50 out of 50 of my design 450 grain bullets on an oil drum at 700 yards in front of witnesses.
Retail price is $1710, normal dealer price is $1395+$30 shipping. The Group Buy price for forum members will be $1350 Postpaid if I can get orders for ten guns. These are available in both satin stainless and black with a satin stainless cylinder.
Serial number prefix for the black guns is JRA, for the satin guns it's JRC. If you want a matched pair with the same serial number, such as JRA0094 and JRC0094, let me know. 250 guns were made in each finish, Low serial number guns are all gone.
