LNIB- Mickey Coleman Custom .257 AI. Has a Rock Creek Rem Std Hunter Contour (I believe) on a Rem 700 Action set up BDL. Stock is a McMillan Remington Hunter in Purple & Orange Swirly that is super cool and looks like fire. I have about 100 new remington brass ready to be fire formed, and a set of Redding Competition .257 AI Dies to go with the rifle. I bought this here on the fire from fellow member 257Heaven. He indicated that he had only fired the rifle enough to sight in and it has been a safe queen since that time. This is a steal at this price with the reloading components! $1400 plus shipping for the package! ![[Linked Image]](https://s19.postimg.org/th4jxwddf/IMG_3756.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://s19.postimg.org/790kkrjqr/IMG_3759.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://s19.postimg.org/pnb3oqw1f/IMG_3758.jpg)

That's a Brux barrel in a Lilja #2 contour. Hasn't been shot much. Here are the specs as I recorded them. Great rifle!!!
Rem 700 C Series short action trued and matte blued.
Brux 1-10" twist barrel ordered to mimic a Lilja #2 contour.
Cut at 22" with .645" muzzle diameter.
Wearing a McMillan Compact swirly with factory pillars, 13.5" LOP, standard fill.
Factory Rem BDL bottom metal.
Factory trigger adjusted to about 2 lbs by Mickey - and it's nice!

Oh no, it's back!
I sighed in relief when it sold last time. Must resist.....
Beautiful rifle from a great builder. Good luck with your sale.
"Raidergrad", as in Red Raider?

Bump for a great gun built by a great man.

Bump. I have found the original email conversations with Mickey on this one and have provided it to raidergrad if anybody needs it to show provenance. MIckey really didn't provide any build sheet - you just told him what you wanted and sent him a check and he sent you the rifle.

If I hadn't written those checks to the dept of revenue and the us treasury yesterday, this rifle would have a new home. Much respect for Mickey and a great love for the 257. I'd be proud to own this rifle.
