Congratulations, AG!  And, thanks for the pics, but are you sure it’s an Extra heavy barrel?  What are the dimensions at the receiver and across the muzzle?

Thanks James. Yes it’s extra heavy. Factory letter. Photo below is it beside my 32-40 rifle.

Thank you!  I’ve heard that there were heavy barrels and extra heavy barrels, and since I have seen a couple where the barrels were larger and to where the barrel ribs/edge of flats extended a bit beyond the receiver ring, I was thinking along the same lines.  Anyway, I really like your extra heavy barrel rifle!

I found some stats on extra heavy 86’s but 26” barrels. Still waiting on a reply from Jesi who might have some info on extra heavy 28” barrels. Also waiting to hear back from John Madl & will post when I get the info.

You be the judge of the value of Leroy’s gun but there is a lot more to this gun than the heavy barrel.

Fair enough Chuck. I was just commenting in general the value of the HV & EHV’s.

AG I have never owned an extra heavy or heavy barreled gun so I can’t say what the premium would be but I’m sure there is one. Surely not knocking your gun.  Nice caliber and wood too.

Thanks Chuck. I just happen to stumble onto my 28” EHB by luck & was initially hesitant about price but after a little research I’m more than happy with the purchase price.
