Agreed, it is a LOT of rifle for the price, but, I have noticed that even very fine custom rifles and many classics such as P-64-70s, the better Brnos and so on are selling more slowly at present than appeared to be the case 1-2 years ago.
But, it will sell and some wise man will have one helluva fine rifle, just as with the two you are selling. If, I were 10-15 years younger, I would GRAB your 6mm by GD, that is among the nicest "functional custom" P-64s I have seen in a LONG while!
Ah, life so short and SO many neat rifles to drool over!

I doubt you could even assemble the parts for that money. Even if you didn't like the cartridge, it's just a barrel job away from any other belted 7mm or 300 for that matter.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Can't believe no one has taken this. The cult just ain't that big  But it's growing. Sell the couch Dewey!! And you're right Bob, you couldn't come close for that money.

Geez, Phil, I ain't even BOUGHT that damned couch, yet!
It WILL sell, it is one of VERY few "wildcats" that I would like to own and use and I think that someone will buy it within a week or even less.

folks do not realize just how much the middle class is hurting right now. Lot of two income families are down to one income. Many of the jobs out there do not have the future that they once had. Obama care, inflation, has many businesses cutting costs to the bone.
People are scared.
I went to Wal Mart yesterday to the grocery section to get my wife her favorite brand of dark chocolate. During check out, it took 35 minutes due to people using Govm't assistance of one kind or another.
I have been trying to sell a total custom 223AI with two barrels, cost would be in the $2000+ area for $1200 with no interest what so ever....sign of the times!
This is just the beginning!

The good thing about this rifle is, worst case, I keep it.

Someone made a very wise choice, a very nice rifle at a very good price. My 7mm Mashburn on the Wby Vanguard action has about $1,300 in it without the cost of the Leupold VX III 2.5x8 added in. Smokepole what brass were you using? I have been using WW 300 Win and 1 bag of 50 RP 300 Win. I have been neck reaming my brass now after fire forming as after firing one or more times a bullet inserted in a un-sized case neck would stop at the base of the neck. The neck reaming fixed that and may have lowered pressure a little. Randy

I've been using WW 300WM brass, haven't noticed that particular problem?
