Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Ok lefty elk and bear hunters...F/S

This is going to hurt. This is my old reliable that has taken some ten bull elk for me, a couple of caribou, and deer too.

It's a Shilen semi-custom .340 Wby with a shilen premium barrel, 24" long and .72" at the muzzle. It's capped as it's threaded and there is a KDF Recoil Arrestor with it too. This rifle has a heavy, single leaf rear sight and hooded bead front sight regulated for a 250-gr Nos Part at 100 yds. The trigger is a Timney at 3 lbs; it has a Colt extractor; a model 70 type 3-position safety. The action has been trued, blue-printed and IIRC all the metal has a teflon matte finish. The bottom metal in this picture is the original Remington aluminum but I have all steel Williams bottom metal for it also. The stock, on its third paint job, is a Brown Precision with a textured green paint.

On top is a Leupold VX-3 2.5-8 with a B&C reticle; it is very new. Older but hardly used is a Leupold 4x in the same Leupold QR rings that I always took along as a spare. The QR bases are epoxied on as well as screwed to the receiver with 8x40s.

This rifle has a lot of little dings and scratches; it's been hunted hard but very well taken care of and cleaned after every use. All is functional and in good working order; it has many more hunts in it. The bore is pristine.

I will sell all and ship with both scopes in their rings for $2249.95 !! or the rifle alone with rings for 1749.95 !.

But wait (don't you love those commercials), all the accessories pictured go along with the rifle; this includes RCBS FL die set, a Redding neck die set, three full boxes of Fed Prem Safari 225-gr TBBC cartridges. Also, included is 2+ boxes of very carefully tailored handloads with the 210-gr TSX loaded with R22 and chrono'd at 3220 fps; this has been the load I have found the rifle likes the best thus far and has taken 3 or four elk. There are also two full boxes of Wby .340s with the 210-gr Nos Part included as well as ~ 200 pieces of R-P nickel .340 cases and a bunch of 300 Wby cases which can be necked up to .340 with a tapered expander with one stroke. There are some miscellaneous bullets I will throw in also.






This extractor EXTRACTS.



These are all the accessories mentioned that go with the rifle:




I have a few more pic's but you get the idea. The extras as you can see are worth hundreds of $$s but will only go if the rifle goes; simply have to downsize. Other than primers and powder, you'd have all you need to shoot this .340 for years to come.

I also have several pages of handloading notes that would go with too. Three day inspection for satisfaction; if not satisfied buyer would insure and ship back for money back.

PM me any questions.

Someone is going to be a lucky lefty.

This is the first time I wish I was a southpaw!!!


ddj

bump for a good guy!

Thanks Trouthtr and Elkhunter.

Bump

George is good people.

Don't we have any lefties at the "fire"?


This is a great package plus the fact that goodnews is first class!!!

Probably a bit much for my daughter but a free bump for a thumper of a rifle

This is a well thought-out rifle ,and a great deal for a southpaw...I can't imagine you could come close to duplicating this for the price..

Bump for great rifle and a great guy as well

Thank you for that Bob.

I should add that this rifle has generally been a "1.25-1.50 in." rifle. But with the 210-TSX as indicated in the handloads above, it has shot under an inch when I did my part.

TTT for today.

..and again.

Good morning. Up for the day.

Look guys; there has to be some lefties here looking for an elk rifle. I know in real dollars this is pretty hefty and you don't need a .340 for elk but this includes a lot for the dollar, and,...once you get the hang of a .340, the rifle (and the optics also in this case) will never be the limiting factor. You will be the limiting factor.

Another day.
