This is a Nosler M48 Patriot in 6.5x284 norma, very nice rifle. Barrel is 24" 9 twist sporter contour. The rifle weighs 7 lbs and is all stainless with black cerakote on all metal. The stock is grey with black splatter and is very attractive. The condition is excellent and has 114 rounds through it. It shot 130 bergers into .75 MOA with minimal load development so it may do better.
If you are interested I can email pics but please only ask if you are interested in the rifle. I only have a hotspot for internet and it is very slow.
I would like to get $1200 in the form of USPS money orders, shipping included.

Is brass hard to find???

Please excuse my ignorance but what is a 6.5x284 creedmoor? If its a 6.5x284 Norma I thought they were 1:8 twist? They are nice rifles ,I may be wrong , just a bit confused by your specs.

Sorry, I was listing a 6.5 creedmoor also, probably listed that as a 6.5 norma.

It is a 6.5x284 Norma and brass for that cartridge is easy to find but not for the elusive 6.5x284 creedmoor, kidding.

Thanks, gary

Nice rifle. Wish I was looking right now. Good luck with your sale.

That be a good one!!

Everything I have read says it is a 9 twist. I only shot berger 130 Hunting VLD's through it and they shot very good. I understand that an 8 twist is supposedly ideal for the longer bullets. If I remember correctly, Scenarshooter had a 9 twist in his 260 and it shot tight little bugholes and killed all kinds of stuff. The extra velocity of this caliber will only stabilize the bullet more so no worries on shooting bergers.

With all that being said...out of curiosity I just ran a patch through it and got 1 turn in 8" +/- so I did it two more times and got 8" +/- both times. I dunno, maybe they haven't updated the web site. I just bought the rifle this fall so it is a recent model perhaps they started putting a 1:8 barrel on them this year.

Thanks, Gary

I've got one, it's a nail driver with 140gr accubonds.

barrel 300
bottom metal 100
trigger 100
stock 300
gunsmithing 300
cerakote 250

Total $2150 minimum to build a similar rifle.

Are these built off a Howa action?

I heard it was designed by the same guy who did the howa. The action is really nice and I wouldn't mind building a rifle around it. If you look close you can see there is no recoil lug showing. It is part of the action and a nice design with a slight taper so when the action is tightened it is wedged into the bedding. Also the firing pin can be removed in the field and re assembled by hand without tools. Very well thought out and feeds really smooth.

What velocity were you seeing with the 130's?

What velocity were you seeing with the 130's?

No (nosler) makes the action in house.

2960 fps with the 130's, I didn't push it too hard.

Looking at my next build which will be a 6.5x284. Not sure whether to go with a factory build such as this or a full blown custom. Any suggestions/ recommendations? Are Owners with Nosler rifles pleased with their quality and performance particularly in this caliber
