Custom built stainless steel Remington Model 7 in 308 I bought new over 15 years ago for sheep hunting in Alaska. It was originally built by Wild West Guns in Anchorage, Alaska into the Summit rifle. Jim West began building these years ago and then started making the SummitLite rifle and discontinued producing the Summit rifle. I sent the rifle to him to convert it from a Summit to a SummitLite, but the rifle remains marked Summit Rifles. The following work has been done to the rifle during both builds. Original Remington barrel was fluted, porting, match crowned and cryogenically processed The action and bolt were squared, trued and lapped Action was pillar and glass bedded Bolt and action machined to make it ultra-lightweight Two ejectors installed for very robust and positive ejection Installed a Sako style extractor Installed a Timney trigger set to 3 pounds All metal finished in matte chrome by Accurate Plating and Weaponary Installed a new High Tech ultralight synthetic/Kevlar with Schnabel forend Installed a black 1” Pachmayr Decelerator pad Custom paint job on the stock Installed light weight Weaver rings and bases Mounted a VX-2 Ultralight 2-7x28mm with the FireDot LR Duplex (Non-Illuminated) reticle Added Butler Creek flip-up scope covers I have the original scope box, scope cover and paperwork but not the rifle box or manual. The rifle weights a scant 5.75 pounds and is the perfect lightweight rifle for sheep and goat hunting around the world. I would estimate it has been fired less than 300 times and loves 150 to 165 grain loads. Current replacement cost is over $5000. I am selling it for $3400 and that includes shipping. Would sell for $3000 without the scope. Your FFL must be willing to accept from a private person. Email with any questions and thanks for looking. Jerry

Wow $3,000 with factory barrel? Well, there is nothing wrong with this Remington Factory Barrel. Especially after Jim West did all the work on it No reason to replace a barrel that shoots sub MOA with 150 and 165 grain loads. Jim made sure it was good barrel before he did the work. He said that to replace a factory barrel to just replace a factory barrel is a waste of a great barrel and lots of money. Jerry

I completely agree on the barrel, if it shoots its shoots, no need to switch it out.
