In excellent condition. Bought it almost-new early last year, and fired it around 100 times, testing both the rifle and various factory and handloads. It shoots great, the trigger breaks cleanly at slightly over 2.5 pounds. The barrel is 24" long, with threaded and capped muzzle.

Am asking $625 shipped, and will take personal or bank check, USPS money order, or PayPal.

Probably the wrong spot to ask, but what did you end up with for favorite loads?

This particular rifle shoots most accurately with the 135-grain Hornady A-Tip and RL-16, but like most it also does very well with the Universal 6.5 Creedmoor load, any good bullet in the 140-grain range and around 42 grains of H4350.

Completely agree with the other guys - this is one helluva rifle (can not believe it's still here). I have a couple friends with this exact setup, Model AND Caliber ... it doesn't get much better and at a $600 price-point, that's a value for what you get. Not many out there balance and shoot like this one and their barrels are special.

Does anyone know what the max mag box length is on this rifle?


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
