Been there forever, won’t sell.

Guys looking for the same buyer as the seller of the serial number one and two Winchester model 70’s for 1.75M

No reserve auction on the gun might get 4k - maybe.

That is a lot of $$$ for that. Damn!

A guy could buy a lot of M700 Mtn rifles for that price…

You could buy a used NULA/ULA for around half that, including the scope. When Melvin sold the company to Bill Wilson a couple years ago, NEW NULAs were priced at $4000....

what is so special about the Springfield 1903 that he is selling also?

Here's the deal... what in the heck is so special about these rifles?
It's lightweight. Then what? You can clone one of these for 2 grand easy. Even people thinking they are getting a good deal at 3500 is beyond me.

I believe it’s the seller who is special.

You guys are totally missing it - that rifle is obviously gold plated.

I've often wondered if some of the sellers with crazy high priced items that appear to "sell" are actually just money laundering fronts? Fake item for sale at price no reasonable person would pay, but payment is made anyway and money is paid for other actual illegal good or service?

I'm even saying the new wilson combat models. The heck are they so expensive for? It's an action, barrel, and lightweight stock. Who cares? And the original Melvin deal....way overpriced

you wont clone that rifle or anything close to it for 2 grand and yes the price on some of these things is crazy I agree

It's a Bubba Jackknife original, that's what!

Rem 700 action 400
Shilen no. 1 stainless barrel 300
Carbon fiber stock 750
Smith work 550

Yea I can

Might weigh 5 or 6 oz. more. Wow.

15 or 16 oz?

Split the difference at 8 or 10 Oz. Is that worth 1500 bucks? Man up and carry the dam thing. You can get a fluted bolt, skeleton bolt handle, and drill the knob out for 150 bucks. There's your 4 Oz.

Besides the weight difference, which will still be fairly significant in like barrel contours, a major difference is having a consistently bedded rifle that is more likely to shoot well with multiple loads, and a manufacturer that stands behind the rifle. A parts rifle may or may not have those attributes. Plus it can be worth a lot to buy an off the shelf rifle versus dealing with a cranky gunsmith who takes longer than quoted. Plus resale value is higher on a production rifle.
The other part of the deal is that when the ULA came out and for a long time afterwards, there was very little in the way of other lightweight options on the market - whether completed rifles or lightweight stocks for the Rem 700. It's a situation where a custom maker built something unique, then larger manufacturers recognized the niche and copied it, such as with the Kimber Montana or Remington TI, and eventually cheaper options like the Howa Mini became available. It's kinda like how custom 1911 manufacturers started with all the options, then outfits like Wilson Combat came along, then manufacturers like Kimber built production 1911s with all the bells and whistles, and now a guy can buy a Tisas with those options for cheap.

Ahh, I see you're just a dense prick looking to argue. Carry on.

Correct.
