Needing to seek this Charlie Sisk built Winchester Model 70 in 338 Win Mag. Hate to sell it, but have some other projects coming due and can’t keep them all. I didn’t have this built, so I’m not certain on the history to my buying it. I can say I have shot it around 20 times between sighting in and a little bit of hog hunting. Shoots very well and is very comfortable to shoot despite being relatively lightweight for a 338. Stainless Model 70 classic NH action. 13.5 LOP. 7# 4.6oz 24” barrel Looking for $2100

That’s very nice. Do you know if that’s a brown?

I believe it is, but can’t remember for certain.

To answer some questions I’ve gotten, the barrel is long enough that you can cut the compensator off and still have 21-22” of barrel and can thread the barrel there. That was actually a plan I had in mind for the rifle. Open to any offers or trade offers as well, but check out page 3 of the best custom rifle builders thread to see some discussion of how nice Charlie Sisk builds these rifles. Link to that. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/16363682/3

I wish I needed a 338, I'd buy this. The parts and excise tax are more than the asking price. Charlie

Let me see your quality 40mm objective scopes for trade. Something like an S&B Summit.

Pretty nice rifle. Would be perfect for an elk hunting rig. Minus the brake.. I'd cut that off..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
