13 inch .25 caliber and 51.8 FPE …
My latest project rifle has been a compact .25 caliber built on a Standard Talon frame. I cut and crowned the barrel to 13 inches and installed a short shroud that extends just 4 inches beyond the frame.
With a Condor bottle and a 75 gram hammer the chrono showed 51.8 fpe with Kodiaks ! I am super happy with that. The shroud has delrin guts but it’s not as quiet as I would’ve liked so I have some more work to do there.
I haven’t decided on a scope yet but am leaning toward the Leupold 3-9×33 EFR with it’s super clear optics weighing in at just 11 ounces.
With the standard frame and short shroud this compact blaster measure just 33 inches long with the WOK butt installed … and that’s the same length as a Talon SS from the factory.
This little rifle will be a pleasure to carry in the squirrel woods 😀

Nice job. Looks sweet and handy. Finally a good use of a Talon frame.
How is that Caldwell working out? I almost bought one, but chickened out.
