We recently finished this 500 Linebaugh conversion so I thought I'd post some photos:
It's basically the Nimrod configuration. Pac Nor barrel, knurled Belt Mountain pin, Bowen target rear sight, home-built aluminum front post, etc. The grips are Claro Walnut and were fit by Cary Chapman.
I'm pretty pleased with how it shoots. Both groups were with 29.5 of H110 under a 435 gr WFN.
5 shots off the bench @ 25 yards:
10 shots off the bench @ 25 yards. The shot to the lower left is on me:
I'm convinced the gun can shoot way better than I can hold.
