Nosler M48 Custom Shop Rifle in 270WSM caliber. This is an early custom shop rifle built in 2005-2010 time period when the Custom Shop rifles were truly one-off rifles built in their custom shop. I called Nosler a few months ago to inquire about it, gave the tech rep the serial number, and he said, “you own the highest-quality rifle Nosler has ever produced.” That put a smile on my face. Features include:
- 24” match-grade Pac-Nor barrel
- Trued M48 action
- Carbon-Kevlar stock in onyx gray that weighs 26.0 ounces
- Pillar bedded
- Timney trigger
- Gray Cerakote on all metal parts.

It's probably a Trophy Grade which is a recent, higher-end M48 production rifle. Or maybe they’ve had a gunsmith work on it and now call it a “custom.” If the rifle doesn’t have the “NC” script on the floorplate, it’s not a custom shop rifle.
The rifle with stock and Talley Lightweights weighs 6 lbs. 8.7 ounces. So bare rifle will be 6 lbs. 4.7 ounces. It shoots ¾” MOA with factory ammo. I don’t reload so its potential hasn’t been explored. Round count is less than 50. I had an issue with the anchor for the buttstock sling stud coming loose. I sent the stock to Nosler and they repaired the anchor and repainted the entire stock. Condition: The stock is perfect. There is one small shiny spot in the Cerakote about 2” from the muzzle. That’s the only blemish in the metal. It looks new in the hand. The trigger guard/floorplate assembly is made of steel, not aluminum. Receiver and Pac-Nor barrel are stainless under the Cerakote. The Talleys are 30mm mediums and are included.
$1,900 shipped from an individual to your FFL. I accept Paypal FnF and USPS money orders for payment. The rifle is cross-posted so timestamp prevails. Drop me a PM if you have any questions, need more pics, etc. No trades. I’m saving up for a boat. Thanks for looking.
