This is a relist from last year -

Remington 700 blueprinted action, old style Remington trigger tuned to 2.5 pounds (great trigger), 24" Brux # 3 barrel twisted 1:8. Stock is 13 1/2" LOP and is a lightweight MPI stock. Weighs approximately 6 3/4 pounds as you see it in photos. Rifle balances well and shoulders great. Throat and box is factory. Plenty of room to chase lands.

I sent the barreled action to Eddie Fosnaugh last year along with the stock to work his magic. He did his world famous bedding job along with his world famous ceracote and stock painting. Ceracote is graphite black. Stock is patriot brown with black speckles. Rifle after painting has a textured feel.

A few minor scuffs on the stock, bolt from working it, and some very light finish specs on the end of barrel are the only imperfections I can find, neither can be captured in photos.

Included Redding 2 piece die set, Talley 1" lows, and 50 brand new .25-06 Winchester brass (10 or so already necked up). No neck turning required. Run .25-06 brass through the 6,5-06 FL die set and presto...

A thrown together load with no workup shot well under MOA at 350 yards last weekend.

$1,400 for entire package -

Nice.

For those who haven't seen it, Eddie's bedding and Cerakote are second to none.

Less than 100 down tube -

Will entertain trades plus or minus cash for NULA rifles, quality 12x binoculars, SWFA 3-9x42 scopes, Nightforce NXS scopes x32 or x42, or high quality spotters of 60 or 65mm...

It was smithed out of Idaho. Not sure who did it but both Kampfeld and Eddie Fosnaugh have had their mitts on it at one point...

Shocked there isn't more interest in this setup. I'd be all over it if I was a loony...

I'll listen to trades of a Thompson Center muzzleloader stainless only in addition to the trades above...

This is a nice rifle, if my Tikka SL in 30.06 shoots great, then, my R700 in 30.06 will be turned into a 6.5-06. Wish I had deep pockets, because I would snatch this rifle up asap. Bump for a nice rifle.

This is a fraction of what it would take to duplicate this rifle...

One more try then back to the safe -
Do you have any idea what the velocity is using the 140gr bullets?
Posted By: GregW Re: Remington 700 Custom 6.5-06 - 07/29/16
I can chrono when I can if it is a deciding factor. Just let me know...
Posted By: Akbob5 Re: Remington 700 Custom 6.5-06 - 07/29/16
Bump for a serious killing machine.
Posted By: tack Re: Remington 700 Custom 6.5-06 - 07/30/16
I believe the velocity of a 25-06 140 grain bullet would be very close to 2900-2950 f.p.s. Excellent cartridge with Berger bullets over distance.
With hunting bullets ballistics are about par with a .270 Win.
Great buy for someone.
Posted By: GregW Re: Remington 700 Custom 6.5-06 - 07/30/16
That's about right.

Thanks for the bump guys....
Posted By: GregW Re: Remington 700 Custom 6.5-06 - 08/03/16
Sold pending funds....
most reloading manuals show 140 gr bullets at 2750 and pressure of 62000 psi

do you go past that?
Posted By: GregW Re: Remington 700 Custom 6.5-06 - 11/26/16
Buyer backed out a bit ago and never bumped up.

I've added a rail under fire end for bipod attachment.

Also includes more brass, at least another bag.

Reduced to $1,200. I'm so rifle rich it's not even funny...

WOW... Nice Rig

Jerry
If I didnt already have a 6.5-06 I would buy this one. Bump for a nice rifle in a great chambering.
I've held this rifle and it is for sure a sweet rig. What a bargain for $1200. Thats easily less than half the cost.

Greg has the best guns and takes great care of them, if he says it is nice then it is really nice!

Does safety lock trigger and bolt?
Posted By: GregW Re: Remington 700 Custom 6.5-06 - 11/27/16

Posted By: GregW Re: Remington 700 Custom 6.5-06 - 11/27/16

I'll even throw in a 6.5mm bullet sample for your load workup.

Will include 15 count each of: 130 accubonds, 130 Berger vld's, 123 Lapua scenars, and 120 Barnes ttsx...

This package includes rifle, lots of brass, Redding dies, Talley's and bullet sampler.

It's about to be removed very soon from consideration as I'll keep or trade it off on a trade I'm pondering.

Thanks -
