I have a 15" version on order. I am curious as to why you are selling.

I found another BF to use for a backup standing gun. The quality of this stainless barrel is very good

I recently acquired a mint BF-22 that had no more than one or two boxes of bullets thru it. How is the trigger on yours? Mine is crisp with no discernable creep but the pull weight was definitely set by a lawyer.
There does not appear to be any way to adjust anything. Does the trigger get better over time?
Anyone else with BFs, please feel free to comment.

I got your BF info Melvin, thank you. I shot the BF for the first time yesterday (in a match that is) at the WCs in PH-22. I shot 80 x80 so for now, at least, I'm leaving the trigger alone! It just takes a little getting used to compared to my other guns. It's a bear to load with the scope on it so I spent the today making some loading sticks. Problem solved. I'm skipping today and tomorrow at the WCs. Back at it on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for shoot-offs. You're missing a good match. Maybe next year.
Also, last week I received my new 15" MGM 300 BO. My plan is to put a 6-24 pwr. scope on it and shoot it in PH-Long Course, UAS and UASHS. Other than my 25-20, this will be my first venture into the "bigger bore" world beyond rim-fire.
Speaking of the 25-20, I also shot it yesterday for 79 x 80 :(( . Just as I was ready to squeeze off on my last turkey, a guy a few slots down fired his howitzer and I jerked and my shot grazed the lower leg and it didn't go down. So goes the world when you're concentrating hard.

Yep, loading sticks make it a lot easier!
Good shooting on your part!
