Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds expensive mistake sale (kimber open country & Leupold Mk4)

sometimes you have to learn the hard way what your preferences are, and some guns/ optics that look great on paper just don't work for you, In the last 15 years, I've gotten all smitten and bought/built some uber varmint/long range/ tactical rifle and scope and then turned around and sold it... This is going to be the last time I swear!!!

Payment is by USPS money order, Paypal +3%, cashiers check or bank check (will wait for funds to clear before shipping)

Kimber Open Country 6.5 creedmoor --- purchased new a few months back from Whittakers (you can see the price in the photos). Less than 50 rounds down the tube, shoots the 2 Hornady loads I tried 1" and 1.2" at 100. It can do better, I just don't have the desire to mess with it. I like my guns short and light, this thing is very light for a heavy barrelled rifle, but it has a 26" tube and thats just not going to work for me... time to pass it along:

comes with a nightforce 1 piece 20MOA base on it. heres the pricing:

$1750 includes shipping in either the factory box or a plastic hard case

+$50 if you want me to ship it in a hard case and ship factory box separately.

+$50 if you need me to ship it from an FFL

Leupold MK4 LR/T 4.5-14x50 with Impact 29 reticle M1 knobs--- This scope has been a proven performer on another rifle, I find I don't like exposed turrets. the reticle on this thing is great, I had a buddy who had never shot anything but a .22 ringing steel plates just using the holdovers on this thing on top of a .308. It comes with Leupold Mk4 rings "High" and has a slight mark where the objective bell meets the main tube, mark is shown in the pics. comes with the box here the pricing:

$1200 includes shipping.

-$75 without the rings

Thank you!

Caliber is?

according to the link its a 6.5 creedmoor

Free bump for probably the most honest reason-for-sale story I've seen in awhile: "I goofed up and bought something wrong for me" Thank You Mr. Duct (?). Truth is I've done the same thing many times myself. For every 'I bought it for $300 and sold it for $500' instances I have, there are ten where I took a financial hit. I'm a certified member of that slow-learner club.

P.S. Nice rifle!

6.5 creedmoor, the only caliber they make them in original post edited to include this info.

+2... Guilty as charged... Multiple times...

Swap rifle and scope for Zeiss Victory RF 10x56 ANIB, owned for 2 years, never hunted. (laser range finder to 1300 yds and ballistic calculator built in.) "Alpha" and then some !

Thank you for the offer LaserEye Those are going to be a little large for my needs, very cool set of glass though!!!!



I did some thinking and this is at least the 4th long/heavy rifle I've come into and then got out of... so yeah +3 or +4 depending on how you count...

shipping is Fed Ex with insurance BTW I also added a package deal price.

It won't let me edit the origional post, but Lets add a scope + rifle price with a nice discount....

$2600 shipped for both

RIFLE Still at $1700

RIFLE AND SCOPE REDUCED TO $2400

pm sent

so I totally mis-priced the scope.... I've had it confused with another I bought at the same time. This is more realistic:


SCOPE REDUCED TO $700

RIFLE Still at $1700

RIFLE AND SCOPE REDUCED TO $2300

Back up...
