For sale a rifle I had built by Nathan Chesney @ Hillbilly Custom Rifles. I know several campfire members have rifles built by Nate so maybe they will chime in on the quality of his work which IMHO is as good as it gets. He builds some fine rifles. I've had this one in the safe for 3+ years and its un-fired except by Nate who only test fired it so basically a new rifle. All work was done by Nate.

Specs are:
Fully trued stainless Remington stainless short action, RR prefix
Side bolt release
Ti style bolt flutes
Bartlein 5R fluted 2b contour, 1-8" twist SS barrel finished @ 22.5", shank length is about 5/8"
McMillan Classic Edge stock in brown with black speckle, red 1" recoil pad, 13.5 LOP, stainless sling studs,pillar glass bedded
BAT Machine ADL aluminum trigger guard & SS BAT Machine action screws
Shilen stainless trigger set @ 2.75 lbs pull weight

Rifle as shown weighs 6 lbs 7 ozs and balances about perfect with a bit weight towards the muzzle.

The only reason I'm selling is that I have several .243's and I really only shot one and have been shooting mostly my 7MM-08's so figured its time to let a few go wink Its a nice rifle, and its when McMillan still built lightweight Edge stocks, think this one was still around 23 ozs.

I'd like $2100 shipped from me to your FFL. For payment a USPS MO works or a personal check if we have dealt in the past - in that case any form of payment is fine with me.

First PM that comes in with an I'll take it gets it. I may post this on other sites as well so wills go by earliest time stamp on a PM.

If you have any questions or want additional pictures please let me know.
Thanks for looking.
Frank

Not 100% but guessing SAMMI since I didn't specify anything special when Nate built it.

He listed that he used a Bat ADL trigger guard.
