This is a custom .338-06 Ackley rifle built by Rich Reiley at High Tech Customs. The foundation is a 1980-vintage Winchester Model 70 receiver. Of course, the action was blueprinted. It wears a #5 Lilja straight-fluted barrel that is 25” total length including the brake. The brake is Rich’s signature slim-line brake, which is threaded. The bolt is spiral fluted. I’m unsure on the brand of trigger, but it has zero creep and pulls at 3 lbs 2 oz. average of 5 pulls. I’m not 100% sure on the stock brand, but Rich made his own stocks in the early days before selling his molds and technology to Bansner. The stock is painted black with tan speckles and has a nice sculptured cheekpiece. The receiver is nicely bedded into the stock. The stock also wears a Caldwell pic rail bipod adapter. The LOP is 13-3/4” and the stock wears a Decellerator pad in excellent condition. All the metal is in black Cerakote. The complete rifle weighs 7 lbs. 5.3 ounces. The only blemishes anywhere on this rifle are some wear on the fluted bolt shaft, normal scope mount tracks on top of the receiver that your mounts will cover, and two very small scrubs on the bottom of the bolt handle. That’s it. The barrel, stock and bottom metal have zero blemishes.

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/galleries/16566712#Post16566712I have not fired this rifle since I bought it, so I can’t attest to the round count or accuracy. Because of the unique caliber, it’s probably safe to say the round count is low. Rich’s rifles are guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA with premium ammo and I’m sure this one will meet that requirement. The only reason I’m selling it is I bought a Honda Pioneer last week and some toys have to go.
I’m selling this rifle as a package. This is what you get:
- The custom .338-06 AI rifle
- A set of $175 Redding dies, the 3-die set number 84437.
- A full box of Weatherby factory .338-06 ammo in 210gr Partitions
- 50 Norma fireformed .338-06 AI brass with a handful primed.
- 13 standard Hornady .338-06 brass ready for loading and fireforming
- 26 Hornady .338 185gr GMX bullets
The package price is $1,850 shipped. If you don’t want the ammo, dies and components, we can negotiate a lower price. At this time I'm really looking to sell. But if you have a lightweight bolt rifle you'd like to offer in trade, I'm listening. I could use a 7mm-08. The rifle will ship from an individual to your FFL with appropriate ID enclosed. The remaining package components will be shipped directly to you. Shipping to Alaska will be $30 more. I accept Paypal FnF, Venmo and USPS money orders. Folks, don’t let this custom .338-06 AI get away. Rich builds an awesome rifle. His slim line brake will tame the recoil very nicely. And you’ll get a box of regular .338-06 ammo to get you started hunting right away. This is cross-posted. Thanks for looking and drop me a PM if you have questions or need more photos.
