I echo the sentiment on the other side. Just a few minutes ago I was looking it over again, throwing it to my shoulder and working that action (it really is smooth, that's not advertising hype) and thinking, "don't sell it! don't sell it!"  A question was asked via PM about the action which I forgot to mention. This is built on MRC's short action which is really a medium. Magazine length is 3.1" so there is room for the 57 or 55mm based Mauser rounds and obviously leaves tons of room for any .308 based round.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.

Generally 4 shot groups just under MOA, .8's and .9's mostly, this with Prvi brass and Hornady 123 A-Max and 129 Spire Points. It does have a fairly long throat so it likes the longer bullets, the 129's shot better than the 123 gr. A-Maxes. I could post two or three 3 shot groups right around 1/4" when I held my tongue just right and the moon was in the right phase but won't claim it will do that "all day".
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.

Thanks but after a week I've decided not to sell it for now. Not sure what I'll do with it but after playing with it I was reminded what a smooth action and nice trigger it has. Plus it's paid for.
So this is off the market.
