I had this rifle built this past year and haven't warmed up to it. For some reason, I just can't get past wanting to reach for my .257 wby or 300 wsm for everything.

This rifle has it all.

***Scope and bipod not included**

Rifle will come with Hornady dies, and about 85 pieces of once fired, neck turned brass. I have 200, 180 gr Berger Hybrids that can be had for $35 a box (spoken for if buyer of rifle passes)

7.3#, bare rifle.

McMillian Game Scout EDGE 13.75" Gray with black and olive speckles (the olive are very hard to see)

26" 1/9 #4 fluted Brux barrel, with flutes cerakoted the same color as the gray in the stock.

Stiller Predator ADL style action

Timney trigger @ about 2#.

Talley one piece rings/bases, lapped and pinned.

Rifle was built by Craigs Custom Rifles in Oro Valley, Az.

I had been having issues with two in one out groups with 175 LRABs. Kyle has re-bedded the rifle and I have not shot it since. It did still hold MOA or better.

I would like $3,200 shipped to your FFL.

I would have interest in the bullets if the rifle sells.

The bullets are spoken for if the person who gets the rifle doesn't want them.

With the 1-9 twist, did you ever try Nosler 160 A/B ?

Nice gun

I Know how you feel about wanting to take another rifle hunting.

No, I've only ever shot the 175's, and the Smith the 180's, but I'm sure the 160s would do great.

I have a LRM. I or know one I have talked to that has a LRM cannot get the LRAB to shoot. I've tried everything and so have they. The 180 hybrids are the way to go. I'm shooting 2.5" groups at. 600 yards consistently.

Thanks for the feedback, I have a friend, and a guy who works with him could not get NLRA to shoot well in his rifle (7 LRM).
He was able to get Berger Hybird and the Nosler 160 to shoot very well, he said.
He also had a 1-9

Just 2 cents

Have a good day

In my case, it's 280 Rem & 300 WSM.
