Hey fellers. The gun isn't ported. I would rather have a bit of recoil as the noise. It is at Wilderness Hunting Lodge. The rifle was a combination of Jim Brockman and myself. Jim did the tube and got it feeding slicker than anything I have ever shot. I changed it over to the pistol grip frame and put the XLR stocks on it. It has a trigger job, WWG Bear Proof ejector and a M8-2.5 Leupold in Leupold mounts. The Bullets are cast bullets by Jae Bok Young and are among the best I have ever shot. They are just hard enough to break bones and just maleable enough to hang together even on the big leg bones. The bullet recovered from the off side still weighed 294.0grs or retained 70% of its original weight. These bullets have a huge meplat so teh initial impact hole is cut like a cookie cutter and stays open. I took the shot at 50 yards after trying to get a shot for 4 hours. The beast was imobilized and would have died but I put the shot right through the heart to expidite matters. The load shot the 420gr at 1785fps. This was the maximum velocity with the powder I used. This also happens to be the optimum velocity fro damage to the ballistic buff. It is fast enough to break bones bit slow enough as to not destropy the bullet so it can continue to cause massive trauma. The pistol grip vs. the straight stock allows the recoil to be directed straight back. I know what some are thinking, wouldn't a straight stock come straight back? In 2 years of testing the straight stock gun consistently raised the muzzle taking your eyes off the target increasing the time to recover for a second shot. I was ready to put a aimed shot if needed right through the eyeball in less than one second after the first. Here is the Crater Lite Bullet. reflex264
